As a convert, this has been my experience with my mother. She was never openly hostile to the Church after I joined, but for long afterward she was openly critical and dismissive of some of our more peculiar doctrines.

About a year ago she asked me what the deal was with land in north western Missouri. She asked without any attitude, positive or negative, and I answered the same way, just matter of factly, short and sweet.

Things are much better now than they were at first. She still may never accept the Gospel, but at least there's a lot more peace now.
