[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 330816, member: 1991"] As Loth said, But also - your aunt is trying to salve her own conscience by using you and what she perceives as your need to make peace. Maybe you need to say to your aunt, "Thank you for trying, but this is not your issue. I have made my choices, they are mine to make. You do not need to feel any responsibility for my relationship with my mother. If I later on choose to make peace with her, then it must be MY choice made freely and without any coercion, or the choice will be meaningless. Give me the time I need to do what I need to do. If that means I never make peace - so be it. It is MY choice, MY responsibility. You have done all you need to do, and more. It is time for you to focus on your own relationship with her and leave me out of it." You need to get her off your back somehow, and maybe this would work. Marg [/QUOTE]
