Vera thanks so much for your post! Miracles happen! My Mom called and apologized. We talked and decided that we are spending too much time together. I know that she will never change and that I will continue to have to set boundaries. I told her that we have lost all respect for each other. She said nothing. Vera, sometimes family members suck. I was upset with my Sister but have decided to let it go. I won’t be as free with my thoughts and words with her. I now feel like I need to protect myself. My Mom is a control freak. I know that I will never win with her. I am just feeling overwhelmed right now. No digging of the trench today. They are starting tomorrow. I am taking a shower at my Mom’s. I turned on the water so I could flush the toilets. Thought about going to the hotel.
