[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 363564, member: 1157"] I think it's ok to keep communicating, within reason, if that makes you feel better. I would decide on a "schedule" .. say, if you haven't heard from her in a couple weeks, just texting/emailing to say, "hi, haven't heard from you in awhile, hope all is well. Just wanted you to know I was thinking about you. Love you, Mom." Keep it short and simple. I would steel yourself for the possible response of "no, all is NOT well, because you won't let me come home" yada yada yada ... in which case you can calmly respond, "ok, well, my offer of treatment help still stands. Just wanted to check in with you. Take care." It's a tough line to keep, I know all too well. But after I kept my contact with Oldest on that sort of level for awhile, she eventually stopped asking for help quite as often. [/QUOTE]
