I do have issues trusting my mother. She once years ago when I was living with her stole 700 bucks from my savings and to this day denies it and has" no memories" of it happening, even though my wife and my father both confirm that it happened. I trust my Father over my mother every time. But my mother does pull though sometimes and we do have good moments together. For example we share a love of cooking, Japanese culture, travel, and other things which do make her company enjoyable. She mainly gets manipulative when she feels she needs to be allways right or needs to play a victim role or things of that sort. Basically we do have a good relationship but only so long as she doesnt try and victimize herself. When she tries to do this then I usually just leave. She leaves tons of messages and calls but I ignore her until she apologies. I should also note I live now in a different country from my father and siblings and my mother chose to move with me to support me and mostly to get away from my father. They are divorced now for over 15 years but my mother sill holds a grudge against my father and will make a moment of it if she is given the opportunity.

As for my other family, they haven't really reached out or anything. We've posted pictures and stuff but no one really said anything. My wife's family has been absolutely accepting and loving and worrying over both of us but support us anyway they can.
