[QUOTE="Mamacat, post: 701849, member: 20962"] I made amends as part of working the 12 steps of codependents anonymous. All of the amends were from years when she was young including such things as my reaction when she told me she was date raped. Other situations with her dad. I know in my heart I did the best I could during those early years. Her dad left for another woman when she was 12. I didn't apologize for anything as an adult child. It's been a slow process to me really understanding how destructive her behavior is. I was kept sucked in for many years because of my granddaughters. She kept painting herself as the victim (2 abusive relationships) which I responded to with more help and rescuing. A lot of denial. I'm seeing it more clearly now. And I thank God that she's 1000 miles away and not speaking to me. It's giving me a chance to get off the roller coaster and really understand what's going on. [/QUOTE]
