Relationships

My dad dies very suddenly in January this year. He was 75. Since then my mum has really changed and I am finding that I don’t really like her anymore. I feel horrendously guilty about this and I don’t really know what to do. I don’t feel like I can talk to her about it. Has anyone else found this?

Thank you Sheila. I have found your reply really helpful. I’m glad it’s not just me. My husband thinks I am selfish for feeling how I feel but I can’t help it. My mum isn’t nasty to me it’s just she thinks the whole world revolves around her and how she feels. It’s almost as if all the attention she had when dad died has gone as time has passed and she can’t live without it. What hurts me the most us she has never once asked how I am. She is just someone I don’t want to be with. I don’t think I can talk to her about this.
