Being estranged from her mother is not against her talk.

She presumes to give advice to callers on family relationships on a commercial basis (that means she gets paid). I didn't say that being estranged against her mother wasn't "walking the talk," I said in so many words that she was a public figure and that it does not reflect well on her to make no attempt to contact her mother in "months." Most sane people believe that to be, how do I put this kindly, "unusual" behavior.

I have listened to her show. And I have heard her give the advice that you sometimes have to let go of a situation.

So if your child refuses to stop smearing its own feces on the walls, eventually you have to just "let go" of the situation and allow the kid to become a professional feces-smearer?

SO BEFORE YOU go presuming she didn't walk the talk, maybe you should listen in.

I have listened to her show several times. I found it tedious and boring, and just couldn't get those awful Internet pictures out of my head while doing so.

I hope that you have no sins to find you out. I am so glad that your mother has been perfect. For those of us that know the pain of that not being REALITY, there is a time you stop calling. There is a time that you don't need to hear what a failure you are any longer. There is a time that you let go, no matter how public of a figure you are.

Sounds like he/she has an NEA grant in his/her future...
