Oooh no she never accepted the decision and tried to make me feel bad and gulity. Thankfully she doesn't live in the same country as I do and the pulling/pushing away has been easier. My dad is really sufferring now though because due to my decision I can't have a good R with him either.

Stand strong and it doesn't matter what your Aunt or your moms T thinks...They can never really understand or know what you've been throught all these years. Do what you need to do for you and your family.

People/friends ask me how can I do that to my mom. I tell them if they lived as I did for so many years they'd do the same thing as I did. H says "they're your ghosts and you need to deal with them as you see fit" So I did.

Good luck Stella. I recommend you check out boards that are for children of NM not sites for NM. You'll get more support there.
