[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 372400, member: 9175"] I've made more peace with this as the day has gone on, in part thanks to you guys. i'm so glad I found this site. I have a lot of in real life support, but nobody understands and can relate like you. She texted me today and asked me to drive her and P to two appointments to look at apartments. I called her (saying I can't text about important things) and said, very gently, "I'm sorry, but no." I told her i loved her and I would call her tomorrow. She was crying and said "ok" in this tiny voice that broke my heart. I called DEX after I hung up and I told him it was harder than I thought to just tell her "no". I gained some understanding about how he must be feeling and I told him so. you are right about us having different relationships with her. I guess that can be said about most adult kid relationships - esp. with divorced parents. You are right that I cannot control his reactions. What a huge waste of my energy. I'm trying to let go of that. It could be worse, as far as DEX is concerned. It's just that thisis so hard and I'm so scared. I want a quick resolution to this (ain't gonna happen!) and I think I was focusing on DEX hoping he'd think just like me. Sigh. Thanks for the support and the wake up call. Dash [/QUOTE]
