I hope when your mom came for a visit that you had some alone time with her.

Does she have a point, that hubby was always around?

While my husband was at work it was just her and I so in my opinion we had plenty of time. We had long talks and both agreed that we cant let others get between us. When my birthday came she handed me a card and some money. When she left we all took turns hugging her and I was pleased that we were parting on good terms. Later that evening she called to let me know she'd arrived ok and to stipulate that my birthday money was for me, to be spent ON ME. I was shocked speechless for a moment. Where did that come from? Neither my son nor my husband had been any reference to the money ($20) other than to say a sincere, "Oh, how nice. Good for you."

A few weeks later She called again with that other phone call I mentioned where she wondered when my husband WOULDN'T be home. It's like Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. Absolutely no indication during her visit that she felt the way she did about anything. Her paranoid assertions leave me feeling insulted.

I think I'll take everyones advice on her and leave her alone for awhile and let her sort things out. I just dont want her to get really sick or die (she's 63) without us making up--FOR REAL not temporary.

This is complete speculation, but could she have some undiagnosed medical condition that is causing these abrupt personality changes? Just a thought ...

It sounds like she thinks you are going to spend the money on him. What would make her think that?
