[QUOTE="Mamacat, post: 709130, member: 20962"] Thank you so much cope and swot. I too wake up in the middle of the night and read this forum. It has been a life saverfor me. Yes, I do feel some guilt and with that the feeling that I can do something to makeit better. Several ladies this weekend suggested that I be the positive one and send cards or in some way reach out to her. I'm a little afraid to do that because ii feel like I'm opening the door for more hurt when I don't do what she wants. My greatest concern is my granddaughters. They are living about a thousand miles away. I do send boxes of things for birthdays, Christmas. I'll be getting another box together this week for Easter and a birthday. She does not acknowledge them so I'm hoping they get them.They did get the one I sent for Valentine's because i got to talk to them after that and they told me they had gotten it. Then she got mad again. Because they are so far away I really can't visit especially given the situation with my daughter. I will read and reread what you wrote. I keep wanting to do something to make it better. I will pray for acceptance of what is. She takes care of my granddaughters physically. They are fed and clean. She expresses love for them. But I don't know what their life is like living with the alcoholic abuser and their mother who also uses alcohol and marijuana. You're also right about her relationships. She doesn't seem to have any long-lasting ones. Nor jobs. They all start out wonderfully and then something happens and they end. Thank you again. I am having knee replacement iin a week so I will focus on that and getting stronger. [/QUOTE]
