writes: I have no relationship with my mom at all. My mom had me when she was very young and my grandmother raised me basically from 3 days old. But now I am grown up and settled down and want to start a family of my own. My mother lives on the other side of the world from me with her husband (whom I have never met) and my two younger sisters. The thing is that when she used to call me, sh would ask for money! I would scream at her on the phone so she stopped calling. I told her that I would appreciate a call JUST to say HI! We have not spoken for years. I think she is a selfish person because she never made an effort to get to know me at all. But I need a mom. My grandmother is so old and not well at all and if I lose her I really will have no-one. Can this relationship be fixed? My own mom doesn't even remember my birthday and we don't have each others contact details. Should I just leave it this way??
