Hi Travelinglady, thanks a lot for the welcome! I agree with you that her changing is not gonna happen. We've all spoken to her about it for years and there is no acceptance. Getting on is the only choice I have at this point, luckily since I have been back from school I don't feel compelled to please her as I did when I was younger, but I do try in my best capacity to keep her happy (which I read earlier today is unhealthy).
