Hello, mom! I was closer with my dad, too. I never really had a very close relationship with my mom. We rather usually argue and we used to spit hate speeches toward each other. But I love her. I really loved her a lot. And growing up, I did my best to show it to her even though it was a bit awkward given the relationship we had before. I made her feel my love for her that I failed to do before. Maybe your son will come around you soon. I'm sure he loves you but is still looking for a way to show it to you.
RE: Apparently, I'm not my son's favorite Parent! And, I'm okay with it.
