** Same here - but only to a degree.

I wont go into my specifics - they really do not matter. But yesterday was my mothers birthday and I brought over the obligatory small gift and visited for an hour or so. But have the time I was there.... watching her as she talked (not really listening to her) - I was torn over the "i love her" and "how could she let those things happen".

I think that conflict tears us apart.

so I will just say - BEST WISHES TO YOU.
