JV,

Your last posts reveals a stronger conviction than the one previous to it. I sensed some doubt from that post and as a result I posed those rhetorical questions.

Families often will look at a situation and speculate on the effects divorce will have on them. Perhaps your mother is intentionally attempting to guide you to help her cope with some underlying fears. Some probing questions about her feelings might reveal what these are.

I continue to admire your strength and courage. Will be back to listen to how these conversations went.

Take Care!
