[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your family (as a whole) has a reasonable (and relatively positive) amount of contact w/ her, and that your expectations of what she can be in your life is relatively accurate. That's great. Sounds like you and your husband are managing it as well as possible within the limitations of her reality. Your guilt about it, though, is your issue. That is wasted energy. You need to address/manage that separately from how you manage your interactions with her. Just allow yourself to get rid of the guilt. You will do what you can, what is reasonable and healthy for your family, and what is compassionate and possible for you individually and as a family. Beyond that you are not obligated.[/quote]
