awww, you poor thing! Do NOT let her guilt you for living your own life. I'm afraid she would really take advantage of you if you lived closer and that is just not right. You've raised your children and there is nothing wrong with taking care of yourself....you've earned it. I'm sorry your daughter has MS, that really sucks, but it doesn't mean you have to drop everything and wait on her hand and foot. I hope it all works out for you!

Very well said!

Judy, you are an amazing woman and a great mother. It is evident in your posts how much you love your daughter and she is lucky to have you in her life, no matter how close or far away you are! I think it's great that you aren't going to let her take advantage of you, but you will still be close enough to be there if she does truly need you. Don't feel guilty for taking care of yourself! (HUGS)

{{{Judy}}} I fully agree with the others. I know if she really needs you, you'll be there in a heartbeat. It's not fair of her to expect you to give up your life for her though. Having MS sucks, but your being there isn't going to bring it on or make it go away. Just do what you're comfortable doing and she will have to accept that.

Judy, just wanted you to know that I agree with the others. I mean, you are trying very hard to move much closer and be more available. You shouldn't have to live in the same town. There us such thing as being just close enough, and it sounds like this is your plan. You know better than us what is best for you and your situation. We are here for you and are all doing the best we can to give you lots and lots of sincere hugs!!!
