This is a tough problem. I'll keep thinking about the solution :) One thing though- If she's your great grandmother, she definitely grew up in a different time. I'm sure you understand that. I understand her "Abandon me like all the others did." I can see where she's coming from, having lost her husband, and with other family members moved out and moved on, I can see how she wants someone to stay. Perhaps there's a way to convince her that YOU need to move on with your life to, and not physically living with her certainly doesn't mean you're abandoning her. She needs to understand that as well. Much, much easier said than done. Think about it. I'll be prayin :)
