[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 373118, member: 1233"] I missed the 2 weeks after major surgery. No one should make major decisions like this so soon after surgery. Hysterectomies with complications make this esp true. My hyster went very easily and two weeks later I was still a wreck, even with-o infection. Somehow I missed the mention of that on your first post. If she had anything other than a vag hyster she MUST refrain from decisions for quite a while after the surgery. The hyster may have pushed her to think about her own mortality and how alone her daughter would be after she died. It is fairly reasonable to face this after an operation, esp one that makes a female unable to have children. Many women seem to feel this marks the end of their "womanhoods" orfemininity and the beginning of the end of their lives. She may feel urgency to push her daughter very hard to clean up her life because she might not be there to help if her daughter waits very long to accept help. It doesn't make her plan very effective. Asking the relatives all to have no further contact with her daughter is just another sign of her codependency. If you are going to participate in an intervention, please please please make sure that a certified interventionist is going to preside over it. Like many things psychological, it is possible to do far more harm than good if you do not have someone properly trained to lead the intervention. Here is a link to find a qualified interventionist: Assoc of Intervention Specialists (AIS): [URL]http://www.associationofinterventionspecialists.org/index.php[/URL] [/QUOTE]
