Hello, I want to share. I am 25 and I am married, in a few days I am expecting my first child. My story is like a lot at my age. My parents left me with my grandparents to look after me and went abroad. I have never had a strong relationship with my mother, but never. I have always seen her at most once a year and on the phone once a week. There was a period when we didn't hear from each other for two years, she just didn't want a relationship with me. At one point I was no longer the 5 year old girl they left to my grandparents. She started helping me financially. A year ago my husband and I moved to live in the country where she is, but over time she started calling me 10 times a day, angry that I didn't call her when I went to bed, and so on. She tries to be my best friend and sometimes she keeps track of a lot of things. It's my fault that I accept her financial aid and I'm sorry, but at times we can barely cope and that's why I allow myself to accept. I've never been so close to her, she doesn't know anything about me, she doesn't know if I have allergies, what I like to eat, etc. And when I needed a mother, she wasn't with me, she was just promising. I'm used to without her love and support and now I get more of all this, conversations, mean, keeping track. Please advise me how to tell her that I want not to feel pressured and in connection with her. My husband and I talk less often, and if there is anything, I don't bother him while he's at work, while she calls me in half an hour and comes to me more. There is not much to change in half an hour. I know it sounds nasty, but I just feel pressured and very much and I ask you for advice on how to deal with it without offending her. Please no attacks, I need moral help. Thanks in advance.

I know what it's like to be raised by grandparents. Only people like us would know about this problem. Expect attacks, but don't pay attention, they had parents next to them. I will also not be ok with this situation .... Talk to the woman, she could understand you Good luck!
