Hi Moonlight,
Whew, started new job and its a long commute, too. I won't be able to post here very often for while.
Moonie, Have you heard the Serenity Prayer,the prayer most associated with AA?
It worlks for us too. (Are we stress-a-holics?)
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

It's beautiful isn't it? The Serenity Prayer
has a powerful effect. Although it may not change your N relatives . . .
But other ppl are some of the things we can't control or change . . .
Trust God, trust your daughter, don't stress, or don't stress too much
your N is controls you with this kind of disturbance . . .stress . . .
its like a permanent legacy for me ,i HAVE to pray in order to rise above my fear . . .
hmmm . . .does that give the N a raison d'entre?
Hugs (Everything will be all right)
