[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 679402, member: 19905"] I am bent, but not broken. I refuse to break. She does not get to use my love, my concern, my worry, my fear for her as a weapon against me. Because I do love her. I don't like her choices. I don't like her actions. I don't like how she uses others to avoid responsibility. I don't like the words she uses to talk to me or describe me to others. I don't like her lies and manipulations. I don't like her irrational, impulsive, destructive behavior. I don't like the hateful, spiteful, ugly side of her. I don't like her selfishness and sense of entitlement. I don't like her blaming me for everything that goes wrong in her life. I don't like her chaos and drama and histrionics. I don't like her drug use. I don't like her refusal to seek help or admit she has problems. As a matter of fact, I hate every one of those things. And until she can make consistent, authentic steps toward changing those things, then I refuse to be emotionally or financially responsible for her any more. I made my point very clear in my last text - I want no contact until I can be her mother and not her punching bag. She can say what she wants, tell all the lies she wants, take advantage of others' kindness as they allow, but they will see her reality soon enough. Nothing I have ever done, no words I have ever said, no "help" I have ever given has changed her. If that doesn't tell me something, nothing ever will. So - no more. [/QUOTE]
