[quote=Anonymous]Carolyn Hax had a good answer for the "how often" questions. First: figure out what would be ideal for you (if the answer is "never," this won't work) Then: back up the time until you start feeling physically ill (phone call every two weeks, no problem; every two days, barf) Then: go forward to where it's something you can handle (phone call every week, 5 days, whatever) Your mom has a lot going on. You can't fix her problems. I found that being exhausted finally made me put limits on my boundary-stomping mom, as well. I was too tired to care about her guilt trips as much.[/quote]
