Thanks for sharing everyone, if we didn't laugh at their nonsense (and odd ways of expressing love and support) we would probably be curled up in a ball rocking or bashing heads on walls.

My mum has been slightly distant about the whole thing but supportive at the same time.
However she did once say catching up after our m/c.

Mum: So how are you doing Dusty?
Dusty: Well I seem to be coping but get sad and sometimes....
Mum: [interupting] No, I mean how are you doing 'physically'.
Dusty: (WTF!).....
