(36,208 posts)all right, I will never get better if I continue to be a mouse and take it. Husband is mad at me because I ruined New Years Day. I did-slept most of the day. Proud of myself for not drinking the wine with the pills. I am not mean spirited like her--it's all about her all the time. She always has an excuse. I don't expect an apology as "she shit me out, not the other way around" to be thrown in my face. It is hard for me to cut them off during holidays and special occasions. The rest of the time, I do. My heart was in the right place, but it was shoved back into my face. Silly me, I will be 68 next month and I am still afraid of her but want her love. You guys are right, she does not have the ability to give love to anyone-except her mother, who has been dead for over 40years. Her birthday is this week. I will send a card-no money. My husband will not to her taxes this year. And I will not pick up the phone with her call number. Thank you. Through you posts I have been able to see that I do not have to honor your parents regardless . I have always been a kind, talent, smart. loving, and generous person. Too bad in my family that is not appreciated. I want to thank all of you for being here for me. You have helped me see the light. You are all kind and loving people. Thank you so much. I feel like crying, because my family will not for various reasons know the love of anyone, even a child's love, but will clinge to their misconceptions of what a family is. Thank you again. Love, Debbie.
