[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 704788, member: 1550"] Hon, you have no control over your mother as long as she is competent. You can't care for her. Like a difficult child, she is acting badly and you think you can help her. How? There are people who take on the role of everyone's caregiver, giving up their own lives. Even when nothing can be done by you. This a hard role to take on. For you. Yes, I suppose it is hard turn to see a wedding if your two adult kids are refusing to live a normal life, an independent life, the life we dreamed for them when we held them as babies. But you have the power to accept what exists in the moment and to enjoy your life even at that wedding or with family of boyfriends fun, fun Christmas. You do not have to take on a sad persona because of people who, although you love them, have decided to refuse help and live quality poor lives. Do you feel guilty when you have fun. You deserve happy. I hope you have a fun time at Christmas!!! [/QUOTE]
