Story74,
I too was close to my ex's Mom. Her son has put her through some tough times and she enabled him for so long to the point that she would make me wanna scream. Considering how involved she was, she was upset by my decision to want to never speak to her son again. I am not a Mother or a Mother of an addict but I respect them enough to know that bashing their child would not feel good to them, so I left it at that. I am on my way to finding myself again and I need to say that even though I never meant to upset her... I have to get back to MYSELF. I guess I can only ignore the opinions of those that were no where to be found during the rough times but now present for their "clean" friend (my ex).
