Re: Not holding my breath

[Guest guest]

Thank you for writing this - it is so comforting to know that other

people go through exactly the same stuff!! For me it's been LC for

over a year, with the same behaviors from my nada as you describe.

Once in a while I do speak to her when she calls, but I try to make it

less and less often...really respect what you're doing!

Well, my nada did not KEEP trying to contact me. She

got it that I didn't want to speak to her, but she had

no clue why. Instead of constantly trying to contact

me, she has tried to get support from the family

because her daughter won't talk to her. Poooooor

Mommmy! As far as explaining myself to the family, I

have not really tried. It is easier for me to just

distance myself for a while. Besides the important

people already know that she is not right. Hang in

there.
