Thanks Buffy01

Have updated topic about degenerating relationship with my mother but overlooked this one!

Was at family bbq nearly two weeks ago. Sister in law was "holding forth" when we (mother and I) arrived. When she realised she wasn't getting the attention, she went quiet. Not surprisingly, sister in law made no effort to speak to me, instead sitting other side of garden. It's amazing how much you can observe when wearing sunglasses!

Probably better to guide you towards "Degenerating relationship with my mother" instead of repeating everything here. The situation has got worse and of course, it's all my fault.
