AJ-Thanks for reminding me not to diagnose everything. You are so right. I have come to grips with the fact that I can't fix her, so why in the world would I spend the emotional energy trying to think that I have her stuff figured out only set myself up for failure. It is what it is, right?

UR-I am really working hard on shedding the guilt. My dad had a very shallow toolkit to deal with relationships. He was adopted, his father died when he was 18, found his birth mother was a single mom and didn't know his birth father. He talked to me about it one time after mom left.

We did the best we could. I know better now.
