I hope it goes well tomorrow. Often when close relationships that grow apart, or always need to be mended, in time, become mended forever.
I was close enough to my Mom, but my Dad and I had to build our relationship, and we didn't always agree. But, like a faithful father, he stood there to pick me up when I fell down. I had fallen a few times, he never gloated or rubbed it in my face. He did remind me of his advice in the first place. We were never like the father son that was picture perfect, we had much different interest in life. He liked his guns and I liked to fish. I supposed we could have done it together but he would get sick on a boat.
Perhaps this is an opening door for you as well? Would you invite her over for dinner or lunch? Sometimes lunch is better as it doesn't have to be heavy and you two can meet at place you both enjoy.
We can hope that this is a launch for a new relationship!!

It sounds as if you had a good ice breaker visit. It's so hard to mend family relations when issues go unresolved. I hope this works out for all of you.

I'm dealing with this too....My mother threatened to cut me out of her will because she called and left my husband a nasty message 4 hours after his surgery and I called her on it. I have always let her control me and now that I am standing up to her she is trying to create drama in the hopes I will cave. I hate confrontation and this has been a hard pill for her to swallow but at age 35 I need to live my life how I see fit. I have a husband and 2 children to raise and I don't want to drive a wedge in between my children the way my mother did me and my brother. It took me until this last year to be able to stand up for myself with her. It is hard, there is a fine line between respectfully objecting to her actions and telling her where to shove it.
I'm glad you guys are rebuilding that relationship. It'll be tense for a while but it will get better.
