we have a similar situation with my wife’s parents… and its been going on 23 years now.
I know how frustrating it can be.
Also glad to hear you are on the mend.
It’s a shame when a parent destroys their relationship with their kid because theyr’e too busy being neurotic to realize what they are doing.
Wow, that really sucks. I will never understand why our parents can’t accept us as the people we really are. It’s too bad.
I’m glad to hear you’re made it through ok, even if it was worse than originally thought. I remember when BP had to have an ovarian cyst removed, it was a long recovery, and I felt so bad for her. I wish you a speedy recovery.
It was back in 2002 that I went in for endoscopic surgery on my gall bladder. The “endoscopic” part was soon abandoned and my surgeon was involved in a much larger and longer operation than either of us had anticipated. This was followed by a week in hospital and two weeks of home nursing care. That is why I am glad Canada has medicare. So I have some idea of what you have experienced. You can work through this.
The story of your mother saddened me. My family is so important to me.
i’m sorry about your mom, that blows. i feel your pain.
so glad you’re feeling better. it sounds like you’re in excellent hands. 
Zoe, I think part of the non-acceptance is being afraid of what others think. My mom is Chinese, and in asian cultures appearances is EVERYTHING.
Bobolink, I’ve always felt a strange disconnect with my family, so I’m not really very sad about it. I just thought we had made some good progress, and what was sad to me was how wrong I was.
Little lesbian, yes I am in the best hands, thank you for your well wishes.
That sucks. I could almost see my mother doing the same thing, too.
