Deb, it seems your bmom and I are polar opposites! I do hope she finds the strength to allow you to share. My bson hasn't "opened up" yet but it's early days. Although I'm not sure how I would handle hearing anything but sunshine and lollipops, my other kids tell me that I "can handle anything". As I sit here tonight having a "bad one" - not so sure. Anyway, I've evolved over the last 28 years and I'm hopeful for you and your bmom. I think it takes time and space. I would let her know how you're feeling. I think we all try and protect each other, sometimes when what we truly want is someone to let us be ourselves and let our pain show through. I know I've held back because I don't want my son to know how I've felt for the last 28 years, which is slightly hypocritical as I want him to open up to me! Life's hard but we have to stick with it. Time and space. I wish you both well.
