I think our stories are similar Neem apart from my poor mum. I should really have been fairer in the above -- she loved us dearly and was very interested in our lives and loved to hear about what we were doing, but she was unfortunately simply not a functional adult (or to be blunt a functional person) and thus unable to be an active parent in any way. I blamed her for that for many years, I don't any more with some adult perspective, I just feel very sad about the way things went for her.
