*sigh*
How do you explain to your mother that the reason you 'hardly ever talk anymore' is because:
a) You know she's told other people in the past when you 'fess up to her.
b)You're both on completely different planes of intellect, interests, understanding, beliefs and ambitions these days.
c) You can't talk to her now about things you're upset/scared about because you don't want the lecture/the basic "you'll need to get over it and toughen up" treatment.
d) She's to blame in some part for you putting yourself under stress because of c).
e) Yet, you still worry about burdening her when she seems to have way too many of her own problems.
Please, if someone has the answer to any of those, put me out of my misery.
