[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 687637, member: 19905"] No, I didn't take it that way. It is just hard to describe. It is easier to feel nothing and not think of her at all when possible. "Pack it away," so to speak. I am not actively trying to figure it out, fix it, reach out, or even feel the need to respond to her. It is like I have stepped back and just look at it objectively and rationally, instead of through emotion and guilt and maternal instinct. I see the situation for what it is and I am choosing to no longer be part of it. I know there are a lot of people that would just never understand feeling that way about their child, but after so many years of push and pull, being shoved aside and ignored only to be reeled back in and used, I am done. That isn't a relationship, regardless of their genetic connection to you. [/QUOTE]
