Re: On places one cannot leave: a rambling

I have a similar situation, and I spent some time thinking about, well, do I actually WANT to be nice? I don't have to! It is a choice!

I made the decision that there is not a lot I can do for my mother, and one of the few things is to not tell her all about how I don't enjoy our time together. So I think of it as a gift I am giving her. And it helps me, knowing that it is something I am doing deliberately, for her, because I love her. But I don't have to.
