[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 213217, member: 1233"] Sending big HUGS and KUDOS to you! You told her - clearly and promptly - that she has NO right to judge you. NO right at all. And you were 100% ON TARGET. You set boundaries. You asserted your Alpha Female status in your own little wolf pack. It is important to do. You didn't backhand her, toss her into a wall, kick her out of the house, or otherwise maim her. More than many of us got when we were growing up and being judgemental snots to our own moms. You, being You, probably didn't even hurt her feelings much. I am proud of you for continueing to parent her despite all the challenges of your own health crisis, and for setting clear and definite boundaries - so many many parents seem to have no idea how to do that. I am also proud that you and husband have kept a marriage together for so long during the armed combat known as raising difficult children. So few can. I think the average length a couple with a child with a mental health diagnosis lasts is something like 4 years, or so one therapist we worked with had in a book she showed me. So 20 is just incredible!!!!! Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
