I'm glad that talking to each other has helped to calm the situation down. It is so hard when MI enters the relationship, because it really can become the elephant in the room. My mom has never really known what ot do with me since my dianosis. It is a situation that can be very frustrating and hurtful, even though I know she loves me. It just pushes too many of her buttons. Huggs, and I hope she can find you again in this new situation.
