[QUOTE="witzend, post: 188971, member: 99"] OK, I'm answering right off the bat, so I may be off base on what I'm saying, not having read more than your first post. I know that the detachment is going out the window, but I would probably have said "yes" I'd help with the kids, too. But I think you also need to tell her that your input will be proportionate to the level of honesty she maintains with you throughout that time, should the time come. It's nice to have a letter and a picture or two, but that's not a relationship, and that's not trust. At this point, proportionately, she would have earned a dinner at my house. Period. OK, was I the only one who saw this and wondered how much of a Freudian slip it was? [i]I[/i] think that the amount of time that she has been lying is a miracle, too. P. S. (read the rest) Meowbunny makes some excellent points. Her health is irrelevant to the rest of it. And it seems insincere to say "I looked up to you as a mom." Maybe "I realize now how stupid and difficult I was. I'm sorry." Janet has a point, too. It wouldn't be the first time someone cried "I'm dying" to get a fund set up for them. Who was it that was going to drive by her place? It's about time to do that and see what kind of a sty she's in. I would also send her some self addressed stamped envelopes big enough for photos and homework. She needs to put her money where her mouth is. Or her records where mouth is, if you know what I mean.
