I want to be important to my mother. The first time she moved without telling me it took her 6 months to tell me her new address and phone number – and this was at Christmas, she HAD to call for Christmas. I didn’t even know she had moved town and state. The second time she did this she gave me forwarning and made all the promises I wanted to hear about giving me her new address and phone number when she was settled. It took her 3 months to do this, and again she HAD to contact me because it was my birthday. I want to be important enough to be remembered without it having to be an event.
