What time do you have to be to work in the morning? Norwegians all start early, between 7:30 and 8:00, which I find unacceptable. I'm much more a 9:00am kind of person. Maybe that's one of the reasons I got fired from my last job here? :-) Good luck and stay positive!

Everyone is just so...judge-y. It's like everything about you is up for assessment--your clothes, your hair, your age, your job history, your skills, every word and gesture. It's horrendous. You have all my sympathy and my admiration, Jo, and my hope that you get good news at the end of all of this.

I'm so, so sorry...This is really shocking news! I'm so, so sorry for you and your mother, as you both have some very difficult times ahead. I wish I could give you a great big hug. :-(<br /><br />Jo, I almost started to cry as I read this post, as I can really relate to the tornado of emotions you're experiencing now. My relationship with my parents and siblings is also extremely complicated and has always been a source of confusion, insecurity, and frustration for me, as well as those deep feelings of love and eternal hope that one day we might all just get along. I think maybe if you and your mother aren't used to having heartfelt conversations, you probably shouldn't expect that will happen now, even at this incredibly important time. Is it easy for you to tell her you love her? Maybe you could tell her what you told us in this post, that you appreciate how she's been there for you and how comforting that's always been for you, and that you'd like to be there for her now. I also think it's okay for you to be honest the next time she makes a strange little comment like that one about you not being clever (WTF?) that it really hurts your feelings. But maybe don't expect too awfully much, and then it won't feel so overwhelming. Ask her what she wants, what you can do, and listen to her. And tell her you love her. Because you do.<br /><br />I'm thinking of you a ton. xxooMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13432497142155757992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585523539249170974.post-7764328770889919112012-10-16T09:18:06.154-07:002012-10-16T09:18:06.154-07:00Gosh Jo!
