I've laid down the ground rules at last. I've made it clear that I can't take any more abuse or feel any more guilt. I've always tried so hard and I've made mistakes but I can't be forced to pay the price any longer. It's not because I don't love her........it's more because I do! She really has to learn to treat me with more respect and love. I don't hold out much hope because she's lived her life expecting far more than is humanly possible and not appreciating peoples limitations. I feel freer and more positive although not exactly happy yet, but I'm sure that comes with time.
Thank Goodness the sun's shining
