[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 96404, member: 84"] Sharon Are we sisters? I'm serious, you're Mom sounds an awful lot like mine. You're not a bad daughter. And don't let her guilt trip you into believing you are. Your own family is your top priority. Traveling would send both my difficult children into tailspins. It was awful. Finally, I just refused to do it. This spring my mother made this enormous attempt to make me feel guilty because I wouldn't/couldn't come home for the family reunion she wanted. Oh, well. I'm and adult with a life and full plate of my own. If I ever happened to do something my mother approved of I think I'd stroke. AND she STILL talks to Travis like he's 5 instead of 21!! I might love her, but that doesn't mean I don't dread every single visit with her. If she chooses to be depressed because you don't visit as often as she likes then it's HER choice. But I know when they try to lay that guilt on thick it can be hard to take. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
