I am not trying to be mean, but I hate to see you banging your head against this wall over and over. There is some relief (and also great sadness and pain), in acknowledging that another person does not feel about us the way we wish they did, and then moving on. My life started being much easier when I could acknowledge that my mother did not want me, did not like me, and never really will. When I can completely let go of the desire to MAKE her like me somehow, my life will be easier still.

It doesn't. And I would want her to be honest and tell me that instead of talking in circles and insisting she does want to see me that she's always trying to convince me to come back. If that's the truth I can accept it but I want to hear it. Not decipher it by reading between the lines.
