[QUOTE="tryinghard, post: 160645, member: 4570"] ScentofCedar and Jog....thank you. I just got up, logged on and read your story and advice. I cried reading the frog story and your story about your sister. They both make me realize that I made the right decision for me and my family and that I now need to see someone to help me make peace with that decision. I am so grateful for my realationship with my daughter and that I did not repeat the things my mother did to me. I have told my brother that one of the reasons I have not had a relationship with my mother over the last eight years is that I do not believe being family gives you the right to hurt each other. If a friend treated me like my mother did I would never have thought twice of detaching from the relationship. Interestingly enough my mother has gone to quite a few counselors. She is always angry because they do not back her up and tell her that she is perfect and we are the evil ones. Well, she looked enough and she has found one. My brother gets to hear the updates from the sessions on what monsters we are for treating her the way we do, how my dad is horrible, how the world is against her and she is the only one who has it all together. :crazy1: I do not know what I would do without this board. It came to me at a time I really needed it and I am so grateful. [/QUOTE]
