[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 385788, member: 84"] Susie if your warrior Mom red flags are going off in neon then listen to them. Your priority is YOUR family first, extended family comes after that, including your parents. You can be a reformed alcoholic/drug addict and work the 12 step program and still be a major *ss. That 12 step program doesn't change personalities. Your parents are still being the enablers and your bro is still being a manipulative jerk (thinking a MUCH stronger word). As I said before I understand how your Mom feels but attempting to push you into this is wrong, period. When Katie contacted us I did not push easy child into speaking with her at all. It was her choice. Katie had hurt her terribly.....much more than I had ever thought........and she has a right to those feelings. Even now the rift between her and Katie is not healed completely. She is wary and unsympathetic to the nth degree where Katie is concerned........but will bend over backward for her niece and nephews. Like I said, being the Mom in such a situation svcks but it is between the two girls not easy child and I, nor Katie and I. Know what I mean?? You do what you feel is right. And let the rest go.
