We're moving to the Middle East in the New Year (our first overseas move) and have just come back from a messy afternoon visit with my Mom (who currently lives 5 minutes away). There were tears, protestations about terrorism, vows not to come and visit "because it's not safe", claims that I'm "putting her grandchildren in danger" and that I'm essentially "removing her right arm" .
Obvious Unreasonableness aside, Anyone else experience histrionics resistance from family members? We'll be coming back once a year and have offered to fly them out to visit. We're close (literally and figuratively), but don't live in each other's pockets, iykwim.
