From what I know of Chemda, she is not the type to have a relationship that is superficial/inauthentic for the sake of "having the relationship".
If she has any sense of trepidation, she should listen to her instincts.. Many people don't listen the little voice inside & allow for toxic relationships to continue way longer than they have. I consider myself an optimist, but I'm also pragmatic & try to wear lenses tinted with logic when approaching tough emotional situations... Let's say for argument sake: They get on the phone, Chemda say hi, mom says hi... crickets... what then? Is it up to Chemda to make her mom own up to the fact that she let her daughter get married AND have a tumor removed while being completely ignored by her family? Or just ask about the weather? |

I cut off ties with my bio father 7 years ago.
I do not regret it at all... When I was a child & he would call me I would always hang up crying. As an adult when I tried to have a relationship with him again he was emotionally abusive & unstable, had to cut him off for good. It has helped me GREATLY because I've learned to cut off other toxic relationships in my life when they have reached their expiration point. Something I'm very happy I'm getting better and better at. Drinking a teeny bit of cancer so you don't get full blown cancer down the line...? Nah... I'll take my chances with not getting it at all. |

Especially one where a tiny gesture is all it takes to get "ice to melt" It's not comparable at all. |

I agree with Hera that Chemda doesn't quite sound like she's at the point to completely give up on this relationship. Shutting toxic people out of your life is a big decision, especially when it's your mother, so it seems worthwhile to consider and re-consider. Question everything!
Chemda, I don't feel like I fully understand the depth of the other slights that your mom has made towards you, but I also thought that her email was almost cute. I often get the idea that parents are afraid to push too hard to get their children back in their lives. Like if they put too much pressure, they'll be gone forever. So it seemed like here she was trying to leave it up to you and let you know that she would be available whenever you were ready. Of course that's not actually what you need right now from her, but it is with good intentions. Then the question (one of the questions) is are those good intentions are enough without the true understanding/listening that you are asking for? (Also, Alzo rocks!) |

I get why people want Chemda and her mom to fix their relationship, be positive, and move forward. But anyone who has listened to this show long enough; will factor in that Chemdas mom has been brainwashed by religion and culture.
Chemda has been hurt by her mom. Badly. You can feel it just by listening to those shows. That's why it's hard for some listeners to be optimistic about all this. She's married. She has really cool brothers. How much family ya need anyhow? |
