[quote=Anonymous]I have accepted that my relationship with my mother will never be what I would have hoped for. I am aiming to avoid emotional abuse and "detach" as much as I can while fulfilling my moral obligation as she and my father rapidly age. I find myself feeling sorry for her - what would it be like to be 79 years old and have both your children unable to have a relationship with you? For me, it would be my worst nightmare. I know I need to take care of my own psyche at this point - she's done enough damage - but I can't shake these feelings of "letting her down." Anyone else feel this way?[/quote]
