[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 676105, member: 19522"] I think you are right on not doing it alone. Hubs is too quiet, I might have to bring my Hoku, or Blossom, they are [I]Tigers[/I]......On second thought, that may be too much....Serenity, you so do not deserve all of this cr@p, no one does. I am glad for you, you have created your own family, and moved on from the misery. My reprieve now is being so far away, so it is about being cordial over the phone, limiting FB posts, and staying positive with Mom. It is about knowing that the "friendship" I longed for, will not happen, too one-sided. Also trying not to stress over whatever she is saying to Mom, or friends about me. I have no control over that. I do not care about money or stuff, [I]people[/I] are irreplaceable.... The thing is, lil sis and bro have figured her out, dealing with dad and moms illness. She has pulled many a fast one with them, so, I have a bit of support there, ( I think?????) I do realize Sis will try to rein me in on her stance, so that would be tough......Until that time comes, I will just be me and breathe. I just have to [I]be less [/I]me, when I speak with her? Not so [I]sensitive[/I] and for God's sake leafy, don't [I]share[/I] too much if she prods. It is a weird feeling, like speaking with an acquaintance, [I]less is more.[/I] Am I compromising myself this way, Serenity? I wish her no ill will. Just don't know where she is coming from most times...... Thank you SWOT, I hope to have you , Cedar , Copa and Feeling to talk with when the time comes.....I know my head and heart will most likely be all over the place. I love my Mom......Sis does too, but it gets twisted and she can be overpowering. Okay that does not sound like love........I am not looking forward to what the future of this holds........ Thank you for your kind words.....sitting at SAMs waiting for tires......fun...lol (Hugs) leafy [/QUOTE]
