    Some people Including myself have said some damn stupid things under the influence of booze so don't worry about it. Mel Gibson is normally the sweetest guy in Hollywood...unless he drinks!

    'I was always guilted into feeling bad for hardening up.'

    Emotional blackmail. 'You better care about me, or else' type of thing. Typical unhealthy selfishness. Can you listen to her drama without getting involved?

    S : ah I can, but it's draining. I guess she knows how I feel. Just not up for a repeat.

    Sometimes it can be something small that pushes you to the "I've had enough" place or "you've crossed the line".

    Im done too Lou...done trying to be the Fixemup Chappie all the time and laying down in front of the bus for abusive family members to run over me again and again because theyre "blood". It sucks what little joy I have these days...right out of me.

    Im not chasing them...if they want me, they know where I am. Until then. Adios.

    Nothing I can do about a wayward mum, but Lou, I have a foot massage right here in my capable hands and it has YOUR name on it.

    LouBelle,

    Life got tough for you, and you didn't fold up like a lawnchair.

    Be proud of that, because, for many of us, life IS tough, and you are a survivor.

    As for your mother, let her say what she wants, because it should be of no account.

    Obviously, she couldn't live up to the challenges of her life, but you have.

    Hang in there, girl. You seem to be doing fine.

    Warlock: yeah I am a tough cookie :) Can't afford to fold up - it's not worth it for one & well I don't do that too well.

    Update: today my mother came to work, bearing a cake and literally got down on her hands and knees and kissed my feet - yes OTT. We had a chat, had some tea & sorted things out.

    I kept telling her I wasn't angry, just to watch herself.

    To family! Got to love 'em
