Welp... she's gone. Again. This time... I think it may be for good.

You're not gonna like what I have to say. But here it comes. You're better off without her. Maybe you can have a relationship with her after she grows up.

Thanks Dave.

I don't know. You're probably right. It's just so hard because she's pretty much the only family I have. I don't know. I have replayed Friday a million different times in my head. I keep wishing that things had gone differently. That I had handled things differently. I was so unhappy when she was here because all she did was sit around and mope and avoid me... now I am unhappy that she's gone.

From what you tell me about your mother, she reminds me in many ways of a lady I work with. I would not go so far as to say that you're better off without her, but you have enough to deal with without the added stress. I'm not Dr. Phil by any stretch, but she seems too inherently selfish to have any real relationship with, at least for now. I have a feeling she will be back, if only because she seems like the kind of person that needs someone else to define her. She knows how you really feel about her, of that I have no doubt.

Time will tell, and I wish you strength and peace.

You know... I keep thinking that she's being quite self-centered. I'm glad to see that it's not something I am fabricating in my mind and that someone else sees that in her as well.

My turn now. I seriously doubt that it all started with a sticky spot on the floor and potatoes on a chess table. This seems to be deep-seeded self pity, and that she is using you for a whipping boy. There is nothing that you could have done any better, and I think you showed an unbelievable amount of restraint. And I disagree with her completely, YOU are all the family that SHE has left. She may be incapable of changing, and you don't need to.
