kd,

Your 'mother' is one of those people in which the word mother is purely a biological term and not one of any other meaning.

You sound stronger than you have in some time and I'm glad to hear your family (hubby and daughter) and your T are all behind you in this.

Your choices are ultimately for your well-being because if you're not well then taking care of little man becomes much more difficult.

Making this choice allows you to retain your power to use as you see fit instead of getting caught up in her bs games.

Total validation from here for you for seeing this as it is and choosing to set firm boundaries and have back up plans to ensure those boundaries are kept.

Well done!!! ((kd)) Your post sure did make sense.

much love back atcha!!
