I live with my dad . I do most of the cooking for us because his cooking skills are next to none. The other day I was making lemonade and when he saw me juicing the lemons, he suggested I just blend all the lemons whole and strain it instead. When I said absolutely not and questioned why he would think that, he insisted that’s how lemonade is made and we got in a whole argument about it. I couldn’t articulate at all how off the wall he was being and got really frustrated.
The other part of me feels I should just send comforting words to any family that has reached out to me and to leave the ball in my mother’s court in terms of communication. I am looking for your advice on how to move forward. What do you say to your dying mother who wanted to have nothing to do with you and who you were better off without?I don’t think you owe your mother anything, in terms of “kind words” or acknowledgment.
