I agree with you, my fellow Aquarian sister, it SHOULDN'T be too much to expect, given the circumstances, but the reality is, it IS too much to expect from our particular son-preferring, daughter-rejecting mothers. My T's told me thru the years that I would do better to go on my own instead of fighting to get what I was "entitled" to from my family. Cut the cord. You will go much farther without them holding you back.
