[QUOTE="newstart, post: 731011, member: 22416"] [I]LeaMac, I am so sorry for your struggles. It is such a hard road. I have one child remaining, a daughter age 35 almost 36 and I am in the same boat with you on holidays. I just don't want to open the bag of worms more than I have to. Maybe send her a text to say hi or what ever but if you talk it is opening the bag of worms more. A few months ago I told my daughter that the only communication I can have with her for a while is text, I told her I have to do this for my own mental and spiritual health. I told her that regular communication with her is too toxic and I am backing off. Years ago when my daughter was 28 and highly toxic, I told her I was out of her life and I made damn sure I was out for 3 months. My daughter is still highly toxic but quicker to make peace since she knows I have the strength to detach. It is very hard to do but that is the only language my daughter understands. My actions spoke twice as loud as anything I could have said. In reality I just want to grab my daughter by the colar and scream at her 'Get your S together once and for all'. Sending you compassion and peace.[/I] [/QUOTE]
