Guest guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I just wanted to thank all the people on this list who replied to my email of a few weeks ago requesting advice about dealing with my mother. I had asked about what kinds of statements I could make to her to keep her " satisfied. " Several people wrote back to me saying that there probably wasn't anything I could say that would achieve that, and that really what I need to be concentrating on is simply setting boundaries and protecting myself. I think I am starting to understand that that is true. I have already learned a lot about self-protection and detachment from reading the posts on this list. I thank you all for your wisdom and just for being there. It is amazing how much difference it makes just to know that there are other people going through similar problems with their parents. Just knowing that makes me feel better in itself. Thank you all for being here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
