[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 665258, member: 18958"] This pattern of blowing up and then trying to get close again...to only start the cycle again...is part of her personality, it would seem. I would guess that she does need you...but then when she has got you...she acts out again. I think most of us are in some version of the same mess with our difficult children. And our responses to it run the gamut. There is no good answer except to keep trying to find some way of being in contact that works for both of you. If it can be found. Are you going to Al Anon? You will need ongoing support, I think. My mother died 2 years ago. We were estranged completely in the middle part of my life. I would guess 15 years. For more than 20 years we had what was mostly a phone relationship. Both of us tried hard to maintain it by not going places that we could not sustain relative harmony. I believe it can be done, if there is the will to do so of both. [/QUOTE]
