I know how you feel janet... I have such a hard time with my mom and I am the only one who lives near her so I am the one she calls when things go wrong... She drives me crazy and we fight a lot, but since I have gotten to the point where I stick up for myself and do what I want she has backed off a bit... It is SOOOO HARD! I do the best I can so I don't feel guilty some day!!! But it might kill me in the mean time!!!
