[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this possible? I want to see her at family events, be cordial, but not have weekly phone calls etc.

Anytime we get too “close” if there is ever an argument, it goes completely off the rails and she has a complete meltdown and says so many things she shouldn’t. If you ever mention something she said, she says you’re a liar. If we don’t get in any disagreements, things are fine. But, I can’t avoid them if I talk to her too much, because she will lose her temper about something. I wish it could be different. I love her but for my own health, I need it to be like a casual friend you see often but don’t keep in touch with yourself. I don’t want to create drama but I can’t expose myself to that. I was used to it growing up but after my kids recently saw an outburst, I just need some space. Not sure for how long.

So far, she is not understanding what is happening and is very upset. But I can’t do a deeper level at this time. I just don’t have it in me.

Any thoughts or advice? [/quote]

Go NC with her. I did this this year with my mom and it's been peaceful ever since. Why do you want to remain in the relationship? You don't owe her anything. [/quote]
