[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 695144, member: 18958"] Heather I am so proud of you!!! You sound so strong. There was disappointment, but you took the high road and you did not break. In fact you got stronger, as far as I can see it. Your boundaries got stronger. You cannot take responsibility for what your daughter does or does not do or her whack job and controlling husband. Truly, he really seems to have issues. I worry for your daughter. She seems to be caught between a rock and a hard place. But you are truly to be admired. You reached out but you did not allow yourself to be sucked in. Your daughter will not forget this act by you of courage, love, hope and goodwill. And don't minimize how important this was not just for you, but for your daughter. She knows her mother is there for her. It sounds to me like she both wants and needs you in her life but that husband keeps undermining things--he seems quite troubled actually. A normal man would live and let live. He would want his wife to be with her family and mother. He would have tolerance. He would have his own life and not be so invested in what his wife does or does not do with her family. And his craziness about his own mother--OK. Fine don't have anything to do with her. But to treat her like she is omnipotent and has the plague? To give her that kind of power--is crazy. Again, I am so pleased for you!!! [/QUOTE]
