I think we posted at the same time, zh. I'm sorry I missed that. I didn't see your response until I saw sabau's response to you! Again, sorry.
Yes, it sounds like your mother is a wonderful example of lines that need to be drawn...especially with adult children.
If there wasn't all this physical, oh what a much easier situation it would be to navigate...lol. She has an apartment and I would make her leave. I've done it before and would again in a heartbeat if she crossed the line.
I believe what I read...the mother/daughter relationship is the most complex, yet extraordinary, in the world.
Thank you again.
