[QUOTE="recovering doormat, post: 327199, member: 5941"] Thanks Jane. I expect to get clobbered from family, friends, pretty much anyone who knows our family. I think the worst part is admitting to myself that I am willing to go to extremes to get away from her because her depression is so hard for me to watch. My stomach churns every time the phone rings and I know she needs to talk, needs reassurance, needs me to chase away boredom and loneliness and sadness. Still, I dug myself into this hole and now I have to climb back out. Tickets are purchased, passport is being expedited, she is going. There will be hell to pay from my two other children. The hard work will be for me not to try to placate them with indulgences but to let them vent and accept that I'm not perfect and I do screw up from time to time. [/QUOTE]
