Amom and I have always been close, or at least I thought so. I moved from NJ to CA a few months after bdaughter's birth. It was the right move. Both of our lives got hectic, and we talked every 2-3 weeks.

Right now, it's about once a month, and I'm okay with that. I like calling before holidays and see what they have planned, it helps me feel good to know she's havign a good holiday etc. (sound corny?)

Anyway, I last talked to Amom 3 weeks ago. A week after that (exactly 2 weeks ago today), I called and left a message saying I was having a slightly difficult time with Mother's Day approaching, and asked if I could have a new picture. I don't ask for much, and don't recieve photos often (not often AT ALL, I've only recieved 3 crops of photos in 2 years, and it totals 7 photos)

Last week I sent a Mother's Day card which should have arrived the day before, I also left a message on Mother's Day wishing amom a good day etc etc.

I've still not heard from her.

I'm worried, but I can't tell if I'm worried that they're okay, or if I'm simply feeling kinda selfish worrying if this is their way of asking me to back off.

We don't talk often, and this is the most contact I've tried initiating EVER. I also don't see it as very much, but worry that maybe I've done something wrong...

I can't help but feel kinda pushed aside and forgotten, and am getting pretty worked up over it all.

I want badly to try and call again, for fear that something DID happen... BUt I'm afraid to, cause if it's the other way (the backing off), I don't wanna make things worse.

What can I do? Is there anything? Just sit back and wait? I'm feeling pretty lost and alone on this one...

I would call again. Perhaps she didn't get the message? Or maybe something else is going on? Even if you just leave a message saying something like "I haven't heard back and hope all is well with your family."

Good luck!

I would just call back and say "Hi, hope all is well. Just wanted to see how everyone is doing."

I did that a few weeks ago because I called L and hadn't heard a word for 2 weeks so I just picked up the phone again.
(I am getting much bravier about that)

I would maybe give her another week or two.

If you don't here anything then call back. You don't want to overwelm her.

Let your own emotions about mothers day calm down and just trust that she does care....and will contact you as soon as she can.
