OK, thanks for the reality check.

It makes sense that she'd want someone to make the drive with. My grandfather was supposed to go with her, but decided not to.

It's just so stressful. Dealing with my mom is so stressful (I don't want to go into details again, I did last time I posted about her, it's just a lot of unresolved trauma - my therapist has basically said it's amazing to him that I didn't end up a heroin addict given how my parents raised me).

I'm an introvert. I was actually looking forward to her coming a little bit, since she was planning to stay in a hotel, so I could just focus on finding a couple fun things for us to go do together. Now it sounds like there's three of us, and I don't really do well with strangers.

Thanks.
