[quote=Anonymous]Very good that she is in therapy. I would also gently suggest she make sure she has some bereavement groups lined up for when she loses the first parent. You have a right to very gently set boundaries.If you think it would upset her too much to be upfront, you can just be more busy with work and other things and answer the phone a little less and gradually decrease. I would also gently make sure she shares this all with her therapist and even see if she might inquire about twice a week. I agree with others that is this reaction is not normal and she is clearly in need of more help to be developing more coping skills. Dumping on you like this is too much.[/quote]
