[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here- thank you. I don't think anyone ever really gets over abuse, no matter how much therapy- we just learn to control our reactions to certain situations. I didn't do that last night even though I knew there was no purpose in lashing out.

I struggle with my mom because, as I've had my own experiences, I realize that my core emotions are pity and anger- both are uncomfortable and make me want to have very little contact with her, which makes me feel guilty!

[b]My mom has *no* concern for me, or my family, or my marriage, or my own health and finances,[/b] not if she had to choose between what she wants and what is good for me..and her needing support that will require enormous resources of time, energy, money is scary! [/quote]

Her future is not your problem. You are not legally or morally obligated to support her financially or physically care for her. [/quote]

OP here- I've always thought this, but it doesn't sit as easy as I thought it would.

I'll help help her make good decisions, ensure she gets good care with her resources (caregiver will be someone besides me) and supplement finances where it helps her without harming my family. [/quote]
