DEAR DEIDRE: WHENEVER I meet my mum she’s just not interested in a word I have to say.
Whether it’s going for a coffee or taking my dog for a walk, as soon as I open my mouth to say something about myself, she gets her phone out and starts tapping away.
It’s like she isn’t interested in anything I have to say or is bored of my company.
I’ve brought it up on a couple of occasions, but she dismisses what I say, telling me she has things she needs to sort out.
I’m not sure what they would be, as she’s retired and only has a small group of friends that she sees at her weekly book club.
Mum is 68, I’m her 45-year-old son. How do I resolve this situation?
It’s time to bring this up again.
Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained counsellors.
Fill out and submit our easy-to-use and confidential form and the Dear Deidre team will get back to you.

DEIDRE SAYS: Tell her this is really upsetting you, especially when she seems to ignore you and how you feel.
Tell her that it seems as though she isn’t interested in you and that she’s bored with your company.
My support pack, Standing Up For Yourself, will help you talk to her.
