My Taurus mom stopped talking to me for no reason.

Hi

I don't know that much about Taurus but my mom is one and she's been acting weird lately. She usually worries about me and texts me regularly but it's been weeks that she's been distant with me. She just doesn't talk to me and when she does she's not very affectionate.

What hurts me is that she was hospitalized for 2 days and I went to see her at the hospital to be with her (this was last week). Now she's okay and she went back home but she's still distant and indifferent towards me even after I went to see her at the hospital. I live in my own place.

I haven't done anything to her and we haven't argued or anything so that's why I'm starting to feel upset and hurt with her behavior.

I don't want to ask her what's wrong because I can tell she doesn't want to talk. And she's no longer sick because I saw her in perfect conditions a couple of days ago so I'm really confused.

Something that she usually does is vent to me about her problems and I have always listened to her but she never follows my advice. I get tired sometimes of hearing the same thing because she doesn't do anything to fix her problems and I hope this is not the reason why she's cold with me. She talks to me about the problems she has with my dad and how unhappy she is with him. But when I try to give her an advice she's stubborn, doesn't listen and just keeps complaining and making the wrong choices. I don't know how to help her anymore.

I really needed to vent.

It’s not for ‘no reason’.

There’s a reason for sure. But it’s prolly nothing to do with you and everything to do with facing her own mortality, or medication she might be on, or dealing/hiding a sickness or diagnosis, or etc etc.

Be an adult and put the ego aside and reach out to her. Life is short and you only have 1 mom.

My mom had an allergic reaction to medication and was struggling to breath and having convulsions FOR OVER AN HOUR before she called me and asked me to call an Uber to take her to the hospital (she lives a few hours from me).

Her reasoning... I didn’t want to bother or scare you guys 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I’m like, mom. Please bother us with this. I’d rather you go to the hospital and they tell you it’s nothing than your throat closing up and you dying.

Moms want to be strong for their kids. But it’s the circle of life isn’t it, and our parents are getting older and more frail. It is what it is.

Time waits for no one.

Hi- I’m sorry to hear this. We’re a proud lot, and when we’re going through tough stuff, we tend to turn inwards versus talk about it and let people help us. I don’t know about your mom, but sometimes I feel like it’s so overwhelming that I can’t put it into words.

We also don’t want people to perceive us as weak... especially to those we love the most.

She loves you, she will come around. Family is everything to us. Be her rock even when she won’t acknowledge that she needs it.
