Thanks GEL.

I thought that would be your recommendation.

I'm no longer doing the "needy" thing... I've really gotten hold of my emotions and am much better in general. I feel stronger and more in control of my life than I've felt in years.

My guess is that she will continue avoiding my parents. I've told them what the problems are, but they still want to talk with her. I don't blame them. During our 15 year relationship, my parents treated her very well and love her like a daughter. Probably even better than my sister.

I'll just hang in there and keep positive.

Thanks for the support!
