[QUOTE="DDD, post: 510452, member: 35"] The message definitely sounds on target. I has taken too many years for me to reach the final stages with GFGmom. Having to interact with her because of her sons prevented full detachment and later stages. I am not sure what "connection" means so I'm not sure if I'm there. Absolutely, however, I have accepted that her life is based on values different than ours. I have accepted that I not only can't control her...I can't even really influence her to "think twice" when she starts driving toward another cliff. on the other hand I no longer allow myself to be concerned about her lifestyle. It is what it is. We have an amiable relationship on a very superficial level but she doesn't recognize that it is superficial. Not sure if that is sad or not. It's a long journey. Sigh. DDD [/QUOTE]
