Question

Help answer this question below.

My mother cancelled her visit to my house at Christmas because she spent her trip money to bail my brother out of jail. She says I am nitpicking, but I am really hurt. She has never met my youngest. Am I being too sensitive?

    Your poor mother!! I do feel that you were a lot sensitive. I understand that your brother got himself into this situation, but that is her child. She doesn't like being in the middle, and that is just where you put her. It is a classic "you like him better than me situation." Give her some slack and hope for next year or even this spring or summer when she can see you.

    • Money was not the issue. She received over $100,000 from a settlement and another $10,000 when my grandfather died. She offered to send me the cost of her plane ticket when I finished college if I would just not ask her to fly out here. My brother was going to jail because he beat the crap out of his girlfriend and then ditched out on court. The judge told him he would serve 3-7 days. She did not want to come out here and tried to make me feel bad after she promised she would finally come out to meet her grandchild. I don't have the kind of money a plane ticket would cost and I don't ask her for it either.
