[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 413412"] I'm so sorry. I agree with what DDD posted. It is time for detachment in a major way. Turn off your phones at night. These are things you don't need to hear about. It doesn't do you any good. It does no one any good. So, what's the point? You put in your tag line, you are seeking outside help. Are you seeing a therapist? I hope so, 'cause this is a lot of stress for a mother. I would recommend going to meetings, therapy and reading appropriate literature including items on detachment, setting boundaries and spiritual literature. I like your scripture from Timothy. You will likely need to rely on your spiritual faith to help get you through this deep grief. You might tell her that you love her, that if she would like therapy you will do your best to pay for it (if you can afford it), but you have no interest in hearing about the day to day business of her life. Then I would GREATLY limit conversations with her. And I mean GREATLY. Figure out a way to communicate with her on an "as needed" basis, limiting and controlling the conversation to essentials. Yep, turn your phone off at night. Think back to what you enjoy and make it a point to do those things. Move forward as best as you can. Life moves on even with this difficulty in the background. Slowly, but surely, it will get easier. You deserve something better than this pain. Reach out and grab it. [/QUOTE]
