[QUOTE="WearyMom18, post: 653367, member: 18856"] I'm at a place right now of feeling glad she's gone and honestly feeling like I need a few months of no contact with her. I need a break from the stress of her begging for money and repeated phone calls asking for money and lying about anything and everything. It hurts to even hear from her so I just need some time where I can not have to deal with that to rest and gain my strength again. It is so draining when she is at home because everything is an unknown with her. I blocked the number she called me from so she called me from a different phone. She is so self centered and I suspect wrapped up in what this 'boyfriend' asks her to do that she doesn't care what contact with her is stressful and painful. I want some peace from the nagging guilt I can't get rid of even though I know I didn't do anything to make her life be what it is today. I want her to go on with her life and figure it out! She was resistant to any parenting I gave her and has made her choices! I feel like screaming, 'You have made these choices and you have destroyed relationships so figure it out and don't call for help the minute you suffer some struggle in life! " I know it sounds horrible but I desperately need a break, a mental health holiday from her dysfunction! I dread the days when I will feel sad and may even feel inclined to help her because helping her isn't actually helping her, it just makes me feel better for a minute or two and then back to feeling crumby. Ugh, it's a long road, I know, but is it too much to ask to have some peace? At least for a few months? But she will never do that because her world revolves only around her and her needs. So here's to blocking phone numbers for a while to take the peace I want and need by force. Thank you everyone for your undying support. It is truly a comfort. [/QUOTE]
