{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Lar}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Our mothers seem to be similar sorts. I commend you for being able to cut the ties that bind, even if bit by bit, and painfully. I still am too fearful of my mother, even though she is 77 years old and I'm bigger than her, and stronger, and smarter, to try to cut those ties.

You're doing hard work, both on yourself and for your mother. Please take some time to do something nice for yourself. I'm thinking of you.

Hugs,
Candy
