and then she turns around and say that you are punishing her with silent treatment;

How do you "let go" emotionally and accept the fact that she is always going to think whatever she wants to think?

It's easier said than done, you know.
Ennie, thanks! Not that I could help you, but I think your problem is same as mine with regards to my old mom.

How do I let go emotionally and accept she is always going to be the way she is? Very difficult, but I think that's exactly what I need to accomplish to find peace.
