[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 483804, member: 11235"] Thanks Patriot, and my holiday was actually very nice and drama-free, which I appreciated. I just wanted to give you some words of encouragement. Around this time last year I cut off communication with my daughter. I even blocked her from FB because the situation was so awful it was driving me over the edge. I didn't any contact with her for around 6 months, which meant I had no idea how my granddaughter was doing either. And while, on the one hand, it was hard wondering if they were ok, on the other hand I had actual peace in my life during that time. It also helped me really detach and think about my boundaries with her. It was probably the most tranquil time I've had in my life since she has been born, maybe ever. I really spent that time focusing on my myself and creating a life that I love. Since she has been back in my life I have been better able to maintain my boundaries with her. And although I get very stressed about the way she lives her life and dealing with her general nuttiness, I now have a peaceful core within myself that I never seem to lose. It was a very beneficial time for me, and I hope it works out the same way for you. [/QUOTE]
