[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 605477, member: 13882"] Hi and welcome, Cathy: I'm so sorry you're hurting, and I can tell your heart is breaking. It's difficult to invest all the years and financial help you've given and not see any difference or gratitude in her. She's very sick, that is clear, but that doesn't mean you must be ruined emotionally or financially, or suffer her calumny any longer than you choose. You mentioned that counseling helped you somewhat, and I would suggest that if you feel you need professional advice on how to further detach, go for it. You need to get in a healthy place and LIVE the rest of your life. It is very difficult, and it requires bravery, but you cannot help her if she won't help herself. Her negative impact on her children is devastating, but you alone cannot change it. I want you to know you and your family will be in my prayers for healing. Thanks for posting, and I'm sure others will be along soon - the weekends can be kind of quiet. [/QUOTE]
