[QUOTE="buddy, post: 585816, member: 12886"] Hi and welcome! I'm not in your shoes so I defer to those who live similar stories. Just wanted to add that if you decided to do this what would the definition of a "call" be? "Hi mom, I'm calling. I'm fine, bye." Or, what if she is really rude and disrespectful? I'm not sure the end result would be "a better relationship" Personally, I wouldn't go there. Sounds like she calls when she is needing something. So at least you know she is ok. I agree with you, she sounds attachment challenged at the very least. Needing a relationship is an adult symptom. Similar to children who glom on to anyone. You sound like a wonderful mother and she is still young, her brain is still developing. You gave her a chance she likely wouldn't have had, and there's still hope. Establishing good boundaries now that she's an adult could be a very good thing to teach her. Hugs, this must be very hard. [/QUOTE]
