I am not sure what happened, but my mom and

my relationship has really improved.


I don't know if any of you remember my past posts about my bipolar mother and how terrible things were before. Lately things have been much better.  Perhaps her taking care of my grandma has grounded her and made her realize what's important and taken her out of her own head.I don't expect her to be perfect or "ideal" in any way, she is still mentally ill. I am just really happy that our relationship is much more calm now.
 
Anyway, I just wanted to share because some of the older posters helped me a lot with this in the past.

I can't say that I haven't been waiting for the other shoe to drop. lol

I am enjoying having some normal interaction with her without drama though.
