I guess what I'm looking for is a real way to keep the door open without being a doormat or crowding her or looking needy. There is a fine line between being detached and keeping the lines of communication open.

She lies and distorts the truth alot. Quite a bit of her pain is that her dad is going to pass soon and it seems that, that pain and alot of unresolved issues are being projected onto the only person who has never abandoned her, cheated her or cheated on her.

Very strange after 30 years.
