[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 605599, member: 3305"] Thank you ALL for the your thoughts and suggestions...Ya'll are so wise! I still haven't spoken to my mother and I think when we do speak again I will tell her that in regard to "Family taking care of Family" or "Every man for himself"...that we will have to simply agree to disagree. tiredmommy...I do like "What do you mean by that"? I think that would give her a moment to stop and think about what she is saying. And Midwest mom you make a good point..telling her what I think would not result in any change. Only hard feelings as others too have noted. Trinity...I would love to learn how to "mother myself". There is still some pain from my childhood obviously and I know my mom did her best but she is not a nurturer. It's just not in her DNA. She takes caring for self to a whole new level. Janet...I DO hope you make it to Disneyworld! It's amazing how many of us adopted the same or similar values and yet did not seem to get those values from our parents...It's as though many of us have had to come up with our own (trial and error) recipe for success! A reminder once again to me that "we" here on the board, are family too and the support, suggestions, and experiences we provide each other are so very important to one another's lives...it can truly make a difference. Love, LMS PS...I will also stop being the "go-between" my mom and the rest of the family. I'll let her know she needs to make a phone call. [/QUOTE]
