What a mixture of messages

M called me this a.m.. Cordial enough. She wanted to double check on my folks' plans to be at my other brother's house this week. (They're leaving tomorrow and will be back either Friday night, or Saturday...). I told M that whether they stay away Friday night is dependent on a hotel room opening up in the small town they'll be at on Friday.

Amazingly, M says, "Well, I kind of feel like your mom is trying to avoid being around when I'm there. She shouldn't feel like they have to go anywhere. I am perfectly able to entertain myself an dstay out of the way."

She wanted me to try and convey that mom should not feel chased away or unwelcome....

When I passed that on to mom, she was nearly stunned. Actually, laughed, as all the behaviors and acting out have said quite the oppossite.

Well, that's crazy for you.
