As far as scattering her ashes, why not this way? Your brother can go visit the cannon afterwards.

my parents split when i was about 14, the best reason i got from my mom (shes the one who did the splitting) was "i love your dad, but im not IN love with him anymore"...yeah like a 14yo kid understands that ****.

anyway...some people just suck together...i hope your parents each find what/who they deserve, and i wish peace of mind for you my friend. if you ever need a shoulder to cry on...or a quick person to sound off on...ill lend you my mom Smiley: sly

*comfort*

Sometimes there is only so much you can do for someone. I don't think you should have to put up with her treating you badly but you shouldn't give up hope. All there is in life is hope.

Yeah, yeah, emo moment deal with it.

My girl's mother and her sister are exactly like your mother Pikko. I know pissed off she gets having to deal with them so I know how you're feeling.

Well, from the teachings of my Anger Management class: so? Everything in life is a choice, she chooses to act the way she does, and you choose to put up with it. Your hubby sounds like an ok guy and is WAY ahead of the game on this one, kudos to him. Or he is a prick. Smiley: lol

I feel for ya though, my gf's ex had the same dominating personality your mom does, except not the "woe is me" approach, more the "do what I fuckin say and I won't be sayin it twice" kind of apporach. Do what my gf did, and remove yourself from the situation. No matter how difficult it may be, you will thank yourself later and will help build a stronger relationship with your hubby.

To give an update, I called her to wish her Happy Birthday and she sounded like nothing had happened at all. So either I helped or Samira and Mr. Pikko were right, she just needed to make me feel like crap to make herself feel better.

He's tried very hard over the years to get me to snap out of the mental hold she has over me and just tell her to shape up or never call me again. Unfortunately I've only ever been able to manage a half hearted attempt at it.

You know, that's the thing. The cycle that you have with your parents is one that will continue to happen until you wither stop speaking to them or they pass, or you do. Unfortunately when a parent is unhealthy, it reverses the roles and so coupled with the guilt you feel as a daughter, you also feel some responsibility as her caretaker, and that's hard for someone outside of your relationship to feel. I just want to tell you that what you feel is normal, natural, and that you're very generous to have kept her in your life. I know you will reap the rewards of such kindness in your life, it may just not come from her.
