[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry you have this in your life. Why are you still in contact with her? If she brings nothing positive into your life, cut her off.[/quote] This is my question. I don’t understand why you would keep her in your life? Seems like you truly had boundaries then you wouldn’t have stayed on the line after telling her you heard her?[/quote] My dad is long dead and my only living relative under 60 lives even further away than me. I feel guilt and shame as well as an obligation to maintain a minimum amount of contact because I am stuck with power of attorney and some other legal stuff for my mother. I’ll be the one the social worker calls one day. I know the drumbeat on this board is in favor of cutting people off completely, but it’s much more difficult in reality than angry blogs and self-help books would suggest. [/quote]
