[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 687277, member: 6705"] Sometimes, you HAVE to be done, for your own sanity and mental health. Sometimes it doesn't matter how someone was raised, or how hard you have worked toward a better relationship. Sometimes, you have to cut them off completely. It's not easy, and it will reverberate throughout you - "What did *I* do wrong?" But you have to reply to that small (loud) voice: "I did the best I could with what I knew at the time." And realize that you just cannot change some people. Pat - my stepson in fact but son in my heart - has always been helpful, sweet, loving... And about 18 months ago that ALL changed. I don't know what or why, just that it did. It hurts - but I can't change him. I do the best I can, with what I know and what I have... And I hope and pray a whole lot. You take care of YOU, and if that means you're done, no one can or should judge you for that. [/QUOTE]
