Tori Spelling and her estranged mom Candy have been engaged in a war of words in the press as both promote their respective books, Mommywood and Candyland. Now Candy has made an emotional plea for Tori to call her so she can see her grandchildren Liam, 2, and Stella, 10 months .
“You say you look at my website, so I’m trying to reach you that way. I want to see you and your family-in private, like the “normal family” you say you always wanted,” Candy writes on her website, CandySpelling.com.
“I’m a mother, who, like every mother, wants communication and a great relationship with you, my daughter, and your family.”
She signed it, “I am hopeful. Love, Mom.”
Tori responded by saying, “She knows how to reach me, she knows where we live.”
These two really are silly. Pick up the phone!

Sad. Parents are just people, sometimes they do a really horrible job. At least she’s trying to reach out to her daughter. I hope they can reconcile.

I am not anyone famous or important but, I do know about mother and daughter relationships. Children are smart; they see, they learn, they live, they think, they form ideas, they adopt morals and values, they want the best for their parents, themselves, their children, and the rest of their family and friends, they want to have HONEST relationships with their parents. For some reason there are parents that think only the child has to be honest. Some parents don’t feel they are accountable for their actions. If children are affected by what their parents do, parents are indeed accountable to their children for everything they do. Parents are to be examples to their children until that parenent’s dying day. The mom should set the example by calling her daughter, go to her daughters house, or just come clean in the media about who and what she has done. Children don’t like be rejected by their parents so why would her daughter call her when the daughter didn’t betray the mother to begin with? what kind of mother doesn’t tell her daughter that her father has died and then keeps all the money for herself? A jealous (of her daughter’s relationship with her father), competitive (she has to be right and is no longer the youth of the family), vengeful (punishing her daughter by not telling her that her father had died and keeping all the money for herself, and plans on spending it or giving it away before she gives any to her daughter) woman. If the parent betrays the child it is up to the parent to do the amends, swallow their pride and anger at being “caught” less than perfect by their child and the whole “how dare you I am your mother attitude” needs to be tossed in the trash. She is depriving her daughter by her arrogance of the normal family she claims she is trying to repair on her candyland sight. she seems very immature no matter who she writes for.

My mother has hated me my whole life. She has rejected my every effort to be close and loving. She only loves my younger sister. She betrayed my love for her in terrible ways. I love her, but wish she were not my mother. I was in denial my entire 50 plus years. Until the day she looked down at her shoes and told me we were not compatible. She couldn’t even look me in the eye with me standing there saying why mama. And allowed my sister to organize several men to remove my husband and I from her property while we were visiting her. This was 5 years ago. I will never step foot on the property again. My dad loved me. His whole life he blocked her from torturing me. She stopped trying to hide her hatred when he died. Funny thing is, I was all set to care for mama in her old age. My sister is a mercenary. She will take mama’s life, then place her in a state-run facility when she becomes infirm. I would have wiped her bottom and kept her at home. I love Tori and Dean and the kids. I can see how difficult it is for her to approach this block of ice.
