[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 748515, member: 16024"] Hi Busy, I have definitely left husbands/boyfriends when the situation was no longer working for me. I wouldn’t call it running away; I would call it taking control of your own life and doing what is best for you. I would not stay in a situation that was not making me happy. Your kids are all adults and have their own lives now. You are not obligated to live near them if you choose to move somewhere else. However, I don’t see the two healthy offspring rejecting you. It sounds like Kay has been a difficult person for a long time who may also have mental health problems that she refuses to deal with. She definitely has substance abuse problems. You can’t do anything about that, but don’t assume your other kids will reject you because of your experiences with her. Are you in counseling? You really need to talk to someone about these feelings of rejection/fears of rejection. I wouldn’t make any big decisions until you have separated fears from reality. [/QUOTE]
