Passionfruit, i am sorry you feel neglected and ignored. I understand that you feel your mom is blindsided to her loyalties at the moment. Have you tried talking to her stating that you need more one on one time with her? Some people think that religion is everything and it meets the needs of the whole family. Well it doesn't. Spirituality does and there is nothing more spiritual then nuturing each other when we need it. Perhaps you can tell you mom something like that? Think through what you would like to say to her without it becoming confrontational or angry attacking her spiritual belief of religion. I wish you well on this. tc
