[QUOTE="Mll, post: 728417, member: 22798"] Thank you to all of you that posted replies to me - it really does feel better to know others have been through what I am going through and don’t think I am a mean horrible person. I would never have spoken to my mom the way she has spoken to me in a million years. She won’t be there for me as I get older and need help because it’s always “all about her” what she wants and think she needs. I was raised in a home with an alcoholic father and spent years in therapy so that i could feel better about myself. I have been to al-anon and understand the program plus I have Co Dependent no more. I was not a perfect mother and never tried to act like one. I was divorced and had to work to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads. It was tough being a single mom but I did the best I could and feel I always put my daughter first. I probably overcompensated because her dad wasn’t that much help. She says her dad molested her - this was when she was in her twenties and I wanted to confront him but she told me to please stay out of it. She was in therapy then and still is now. She tells me her therapist told her I was sick. My daughter is bipolar and I went through hell for ten years while they tried to find the right medication. Before she was diagnosed she used drugs and because she was so messed up I ended up taking care of my grandson 95 percent of the time as well as worrying about her. Things have not been easy at all. But she still blames me and is furious that when I die she won’t get a fortune. It is beyond my comprehension - but that’s who she is and now I am standing firm. Still no contact but that’s ok except for the times I feel like I need to fix this - but I’m not going to and with your help I can get through this. Thank you again for your continued support - I am so grateful. [/QUOTE]
