I just had similar with my parents - not spoken for a year but communicated via email for a couple of messages. Then I asked a question about our family dog (who they just put to sleep) and she's completely blanked me. I know it sounds trivial and not much but she used to dig at me over that I had not gone to see the dog - she knows how much I loved him. Anyhow, I know not telling me what I wanted to know is her way of punishing me again because I made the decision to keep away last June. All it does is remind me that I was right to do so.

I don't know how you will find your way of coping, but for me I just understand where/what they do, understand that reason doesn't come into it and let it go. It's still one of the hardest things to go through I think, but a necessity.

Try doing something nice for yourself. You DO deserve it, no matter how rubbish your mum may make you feel or talking to her makes you feel. It's not your fault you have parents the way you are, you can only cope your own way.
