Updates are currentUpdate is regarding my situation with my mum and her dislike of my current hair choice. Well, its been around 2-3 weeks since my haircut and .... well, she still isn't talking to me. The few attempts that I have made have been shot down. I call my sister primarily and when she was in the car my mum was there too. She asked how I was doing. I said "I'm doing pretty good. Glad you are talking to me again :D" trying to be light hearted about the fact that she basically hung up on our last conversation. To this she just laughed and then returned to not talking to me. That was a week ago.

This past weekend I was on the phone with my sister and she made it obvious in how she talked that my mum was nearby too. So I told her to say hi for me and tell mum that I love her. I over hear her telling my mum and then she tells me "Mum says .... thank you." It was pretty obvious by how awkwardly my sister said this that my mum is still on the "refuse to talk to her as that says that I am ok with her mohawk" when really all I want to hear is that she loves me still. Its ok that she doesn't like my hair. That has been made apparent, but she is holding true to her complete refusal to talk to me.
My sister has told me that if anyone tries to talk to my mum about my hair that she gets upset and refuses to discuss saying that she is still too angry about it. From my understanding there is a lot of stress in her life right now and apparently my hair was the last straw and as she sees it I am the only one that it is OK to be outwardly angry with. She can't let her clients know she is mad at them, she can't be mad at Gran for getting older and being sick, but it is ok to be mad at me. So my sister has been telling me that I was just the straw that broke the camels back and I am receiving the stress and frustration from all those situations combined. I gain little solace from knowing that, I just wish she would realize that was what was happening and talk to me and accept me again.
