[QUOTE="Mamacat, post: 703802, member: 20962"] I was gonna quote part of what you wrote SWOT, but instead I think I quoted the whole thing, which is fine because it rang so true for me. I had to choose my words so carefully and be so supportive when ii really wanted to say "what the heck are you thinking?" I was told "you don't get to tell me what to do." Oh yes, but who was the first person she called when you know what hit the fan? And guess, who was always there to help? Sometimes me alone or sometimes husband and I. My husband would say, she make these decisions andf we're lerft to pick up the pieces. And then there were the times I'd sneak and help her without telling my husband. And then she had the nerve to say, you don't support me, you don't understand me, you don't accept who I am, you judge me. Are you kidding? I wish I could take back the thousands of dollars we gave her. I wish I could get back the sleepless nights, the wasted days of my precious life that I gave up to "help" her. Thank God above that she stopped speaking to me. I've even gotten to the point of thinking that not seeing my granddaughters is a small price to pay. I love my life. I'm excited about it. For the first time, I feel like my life is mine. I hope to see my granddaughters some day. But in the meantime, let 'er rip! This 71 year old girl is going to live!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
