Disappointed in my mom

[Blueyes]

OK Linds, you know I love you but here's what I think. Your mom will do what she has to do. If she does keep smoking, you most likely won't have her around as long as you want. Don't waste the time you have with her by staying away from her because she's not doing what you know she needs to do. Don't you see honey...you lose her either way. If you don't see her at Christmas, it's just a Christmas wasted that you could be together.

You are right, she should have been honest about her smoking with you from the beginning. But I'm sure in her mind, she was protecting you.

My mom has been gone for 3 years, and I miss her terribly every single day. She was my best friend, and we hardly ever even had a disagreement, much less a fight.

The main thing is, I just don't want you to have regrets...they are a hard thing to live with. Your mom knows how you feel about it and how much you love her. She has to decide for herself. Good luck sweetheart!
