    I desperately miss my relationship with my mother. This is not from a space of momma's boyism. This is from a space of missing a good friend. After I chose to break the unhealthy bonds of co-dependency, my mother and I had a great relationship. I have no one of a mind like hers. With that said, I miss the relationship.

    I have been struggling with the idea of at least exposing her to the things I have found out from research. The reason for the struggle arises at the point where I am accountable for my own salvation/actions/choices versus accountability to the truth. I have chosen accountability to the truth. The breaking point came for me when I realized that I couldn't keep something from someone that I love.

    The basic plan is firstly to get around the defense of not being able to talk about the truth with me. The idea is to get her to use the bible to prove that. (She won't be able to) After this my goal is to tell her that I cannot resolve some of the issues that have arisen from my research. Then let her find the answers for herself.

    I understand. I've been thinking along the same lines in regard to my mother.I just don't feel quite ready yet. But it is a steadily growing thought and feeling. Best wishes, CHL ! ! !

    Good luck to you, my friend. I would like to think my kids would have done the same for me. We all know what the results are when we don't try.
