So after the initial shock and freak out, things have been more or less normal between my mom and me since I told her about my husband and I leaving the church. A snide comment here and there, but lately nothing.
Then today happened. She called and asked me if my husband would be willing to give her a blessing tomorrow when she comes to watch our son while we are at work.
I was so taken a back, all I said was that I guess she would have to ask him. She chatted on again like normal and then we hung up like usual.
Of course I thought of a thousand things to say as soon as she hung up the phone. I am surprised by how upset I am. I thought that things were okay between us, that she accepted me more or less even though I left the church. Now I think there is some kind of crazy denial thing going on. I don't know. I am very upset, frustrated and, well... sad. How do I handle this? Why am I so torn up about this stupid request?
