((((( Grace )))))

It's perfectly ok. I think a lot of us struggle with the same problem.

I am working so hard to resolve the many issues with mine too. She is 77 yrs. old now and I am trying to have compassion but at the same time I resent the fact that she treated/treats me like crap and now expects me to be there for her.

From the human aspect of my heart (her being elderly, lonely) I can't walk away.

As I type this I am feeling guilty cuz I have not called her in two weeks. I really don't want to either.

Argh.
