I am married, have 1 child and live several states away from my family, but my mother still insists that we "chat" every day and email several times a day. She is very sensative and believes I am upset with her if I do not email her for a day or two. She also believes that when I don't talk to her that my husband is telling me I can't (he's not). She believes daughters have a commitment to their mothers to be "best friends" their whole lives, because this is the relationship she and her mother have. I love her dearly, but I have my own life and resposibilities! Her close relationship with her mother caused her divorce with my father after 15 years of marriage (and she blames HIM for not being understanding enough), I DON'T want to suffer the same fate, but I also don't want to hurt her. What to do??
