Grandmothers, do they love you? Options

[Spirited Away]

I don't know where this belongs, but family counts as relationship, I think.

You see, I never really knew my grandmother that well, but I've always felt like there was a special bond between us because we're in common in some ways.

Then I found out that the only thing we could have in common with is our blood.

Grandma hated my mother because my mother came from a poor family (nonetheless a very educated family and long story as to why they dislike each other) and I supposed she transfers that hate to my brother and I. She told me that I looked like my mother, and as a child, I thought it was a compliment. Now I know those 'compliments' for what they are...

It was more than ten years since I've seen her, and I cried when I finally did, knowing that this was my chance to get to know my grandmother. Knowing what I know now makes me feel ridiculous to ever have thought she cared.

What about your grandmothers? Did they have give you a fake smile and compliment you with empty words? Do they care to know what you've been doing the ten years that you're apart from each other? Do they criticize your flaws and see nothing of your accomplishments?

my 77 year old grandma came from new york cuz she was all alone and none of my aunts and uncles would let her into their home...so my family did and she lieks to cook korean food...so she would wash korean vegetables to make kimchi outside and my friends wud tease me, and she would always accidently call the wrong # and i had to deal with the angry people, and she would always yell at me and my mom... so i got really upset at her and didnt show her the respect that i should have...and one night i heard her crying..:-( and the next day, she left back to nyc...she called me a few weeks later and said, "ur happy since im gone right? i miss u"

i think everyones going to be like that once they get old...my friends grandma also hates her because she gets bad grades and shes "stupid"...
