[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 658580, member: 18284"] Hi Billy63 -- So sorry to hear it's been so difficult and tense in your family situations. That's very hard on a heart. I can't really address your daughter's responses to you as I don't know that much about her or her particulars. Although, I surely don't like the sound of someone treating you so poorly. The one thing I can say about your life is that it concerns me to hear how it affects your physical and emotional health. I think we've all felt some degree (in varying levels) on this site. So painful. As there is no "signature bio" beneath your post, I don't know anything about your daughter's age or life situation. But you do have the right to be healthy and happy in your own life -- aside from hers. Whatever her difficulties are, you have the right to set boundaries which protect you and nourish your health and happiness. Boundaries don't limit love, they just limit pain. Consider what boundaries you can put in place to nourish yourself during this stage of your life and current set-up. Is there anything you can do to SUBTRACT some things which hurt you, or ADD some things which heal you? Even.........some fun? Laughter heals a myriad of wounds in the most unexpected ways. If not laughter or smiling, then, at least, peace and quiet and "you time"? Sending virtual hugs to you for your broken heart.......and keeping a prayer that your health and happiness find their way back to you (regardless of what you daughter does). [/QUOTE]
