[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 653459, member: 17269"] Weary, I think it is totally OK to say "I feel very uncomfortable having this casual chit chat as though everything were normal in our relationship when it is not. I don't want to have conversations like this that make me feel so uncomfortable. I love you and I want to stay in touch but this isn't working for me. How about if we plan to talk every Sunday at noon for 20 minutes." Or something along those lines. Or just the first part. I found that being very honest with my difficult child about my own experience of our relationship was a real relief to me, even when he didn't take it well. It just felt good to not be held hostage in a false setting, if you know what I mean. Good luck to you. Many many of us have been where you are. Its hard. Continue to trust your instincts and do what feels right to you...even better, trust your instincts but wait 24 hours before you act on them! Hugs to you, Echo [/QUOTE]
