[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 330624, member: 4264"] My sympathy goes to you for dealing with your aunts idealistic ideals! I'm fortunate that my family stopped contact with my mother years before I was able to break that toxic chain she had wrapped around me. They would support any decision I made/make over my mother. However given that I have no desire/need/want/craving for further abuse from my mother, I know that I am sticking to my guns. I do think about when my mother passes. I can't imagine that scene at all. Expectations are normally that people see someone lose a parent and weep in grief and despair. For me, my mothers ultimate passing, if it fuels tears in me, will likely be for all that failed to do while she had the chance, the choices she made, the fact that she lived a loveless life due to her own actions. It isnt' that I'm heartless. Far from it. I'm the person striving to keep what is left of my family together, close, in touch etc. Its important to me. Because they are healthy relationships and valuable. Urgh! Again, sorry you have someone meddling. Sometimes others just can't see. [/QUOTE]
