Have started calling my mother on alternate weekends. It's ...going okay? I am still having a hard time relaxing and actually saying things instead of small talk, and I realize this is a great problem to have, but my therapist is right: I would like to have a close relationship with my mother, and I don't know how.

Well, the only way out is through, I suppose. It'll take time. We'll see how Thanksgiving goes. I'll keep trying.
