[quote=Anonymous]I have one of those! Have you tried: -Reading the book EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL -Drinking (not saying it helps, but I do it). -Sending short messages? A text? A postcard? -During the freeze, maintaining your other familial relationships (siblings, aunts, etc.) so it is clear it is not you staging the embargo? I was relieved to hear from others in my family they always knew she was a handful but didn't want to badmouth my parent. -Counseling for just you. -Using the phrase, "I will do what I think needs to be done (send a birthday card) not what she expects or feels she deserves to fix this?". If you didn't set the fire, you can't put it out. -Making friends with women who are older/maternal (see aunts, book clubs, colleagues) GOOD LUCK. My priest used to say there is no chemo for crazy. Hugs. [/quote]
