[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 668412, member: 19522"] Thank you for your valuable input, yes you are right. There is time to sit with my feelings and think carefully about what happens next-on my own terms. This may be why the circle continues. I cave in too easily, trying to be the "bigger person". It is what we were taught as kids. I am learning I have set myself up sometimes, bent over to "help" and then treated badly. I have to remind myself to take deep breaths and to allow myself the time I need to heal. That is not a selfish thing. I think my friends comments triggered the mother instinct. She is in a different place with her adult children. One day I may be there, but not now. You are spot on Sam3-it is a very lopsided relationship, not healthy. Thank you so much for sharing. [/QUOTE]
