[QUOTE="Overwhelmed1, post: 754661, member: 24921"] Hi JayPee nice to meet you. I am working on focusing on making the right decisions for me when dealing with my daughter and son. Both have different types of control over me. I do think I made a good choice the last day I was with my daughter. I was ready to go home but she wanted to go to the store for food and get money from me. Now this may not seem like I didn't do all that good when you read what I did do, but it is what I didn't do that made me feel strength. As you know I support her and her children in every way. But this day I didn't let her keep me longer. We went to the store but I drove myself. I got her money for food, gas, her Dr. visit and prescription. When I gave it to her I told her I was going to go. She said I need to stay until she finished shopping. I started walking with her and the kids down the aisle and she began talking about her up coming bills, car ins, cable etc. I explained I knew they were due. She got complacent trying to tell me when to pay them. I gave the kids a hug, told them I loved them and then walked to her. She backed up but I still gave her a hug and told her I love her but I was going to leave so I could get home before dark. As I walked away she made ugly remarks loudly and called me a horrible mother. People turned to look but I just kept walking away. It was hard but I walked away. I know this seems small but it was actually a big step for me. I am going to slowly stop helping her. I am listening to people on here and will give her numbers to call for help with all her needs. I am feeling better just knowing I am not alone. That is thanks to all the nice people here. I have not had anyone to talk to about any of this. Thank you so much. Peace and Love [/QUOTE]
