[quote=Anonymous]Continuing to pressure her to fly alone is not "not giving up on her." It's refusing to accept that a 60-year-old woman is the way that she is, and is unlikely to change, and dealing with her as she is and not as you wish she would be. She's clearly got serious anxiety about flying. You need to just work with the situation you have. You (meaning you and your husband) travel to see her as much as you are able and willing to do so. You don't feel guilty that you can't do more. You ignore any hints about wanting to see her grandkids more. And you welcome her visits when she comes with her husband. [/quote]
