[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 753313, member: 24254"] That is very true, Copa. I think my relationship with myself is what matters the most. When I feel good about myself, it doesn't matter so much how other people feel about me. I, of course, used the article to refer to my relationship with my adult children. I will always love them no matter what but I have to learn right now and respect that they don't want a relationship with me .That it is one sided. And so I need to pull away to preserve my own dignity. You make good points: other people are not bad for feeling about us the way they feel. In fact, their feelings have little to do with us. In the case of my kids, they just need to find autonomy and independence right now. If I can stay loving without compromising my own self respect, I am modeling how I want others to treat me to my adult children . The outcome is not up to me. [/QUOTE]
