conversation​

Answer 1

Any time any where in anybody ..........!!

Answer 2

Yours might be very close, where you talk to your Mom or visit with her every day. Another person might have a good relationship with Mom but not talk quite so often. And, many people have a strained mother-daughter relationship for one reason or another. But, no matter what the starting point is, we may face strain to the relationship as Mom gets older. The dynamics change as we move into a caregiving role or need to address concerns with Mom. While it is not a role reversal as you’ll sometimes hear, it is definitely a role change. She is still your Mom, with all the history of the mother-daughter relationship. However, you may now be in the position where she needs your help and you see vulnerabilities you may not have before. This can be challenging, to say the least.
