You can't change her now either, she likes to guilt trip you and look down on you. The best thing you can do is distance even though that might hurt. She has to grow up, you don't owe her anything either. She is an adult now and should be taking care of herself.


You sound like you have come to believe that you have to be a codependent and allow her to control you and guilt trip you. Well, you really don't have to be a codependent and you should not be feeling guilt about taking care of your OWN needs for a change.


Yes. I have done all of that. In some ways I was too strict and controlling and in others I was too indulgent. I know I can’t change it now. I work through the grief and the feelings of guilt... and the sadness... but I am very, very careful now in what I do and say.
