LittleGTO,
Thank you for your words and support it is appreciated.

I think that you deciding to stand for your M is good and I too will be standing for my M. I think I have finally learned that I do need to put myself first and fix what is broken with me, so that I can be OK and be able to stand for my M in a helpful healthy way.

I think my in laws would be supportive of me, yet I do not reach out in fear of how W would see it.

I too have a strained relationship with my mother and have been brought closer to her since this mess. I have learned that I need to forgive her. I am glad to hear that you and your mother are communicating.
