[QUOTE="tryinghard, post: 160606, member: 4570"] It is four oclock in the morning and I woke up wondering if anyone had posted and what they had to say so I logged in immediately! I stayed up till one in the morning thinking about this and all the good advice given... wyntersgrace you said the one thing I never thought of....I am feeling very very vunerable and lost right now in my life. I think what I am doing (even though I did not realize it until you mentioned it) is I think in some odd way I want my mom. I want my mom to love me and tell me it will be ok, I want her to hug me and make it all better. This is not going to happen but deep inside I need it to. If I try to connect right now it maybe ok for a day or two, but my mom will revert to her past ways. marg. yes we both should/need to go see someone. You, and others, have validated why I detached and that it was the right thing to do. My heart hurts for your friend because I understand a little bit, the pain your friend feels. I hope she is able to find peace. I think my daughter moving out to college is another reason I am feeling all this right now. We are so very close and I will miss her terribly. Thanks again everyone...truly you have helped me look at this from different angles and made me realizing detaching was not a bad thing. [/QUOTE]
