[QUOTE="ChickPea, post: 753406, member: 24089"] Ooops. It turned my C D C into something else! Ha. This is usually the time when she is impaired. She will say she's not, but after a bit I realize she is. You're right, the power to change is in her hands and hers only, and it is a F.O.G. situation! No, she doesn't. A couple times in the past week I've had to ask her to go back and read her own texts after saying some incredibly hurtful things (that I did not respond to). Goodness yes! I think I needed to hear this a bit. I've dialed back, but my F.O.G. (and habit - a habit I need to break) has kept me coming back since it's been my normal especially as of late. But it doesn't feel healthy. The things she's been saying aren't kind or respectful, and I don't need or want that. And when she's liquored up she says some awful things, forgetting them in the morning. Gosh, I'm so sorry for the pain and fear you must have had - and still do, I'm sure. It's always in the back of my mind when I hear sirens that it could be her. Copa, you are absolutely correct. My motivations seem to be out of fear, out of guilt at this point. If I want to tell her I love her, I should probably just do that and let it be and move on. I often text "I love you" or "goodnight" to my adult children, but not every night, and with the others it doesn't result in tirades. [/QUOTE]
