[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 702279, member: 1963"] Maisy, go back and read the history behind the post Susiestar made. She is not jumping CB out of the blue. All of the advice CB is being offered here is advice she had been offered many times before over a period of years. The pattern of CB's depending on her mother for financial assistance, rides, and childcare, and in exchange allowing her mother way too much control over her life, and way too much information about herself and her children is a longstanding one. CB has been advised to distance herself from her mother many times before. Her mother uses money and assistance to control her. CB, for whatever reasons, has been unable to change her lifestyle and job circumstances so as to be independent of her mother's assistance, despite the negative impact continued interaction with her mother has on both her and her children. In addition, CB suffers from crippling general and health anxiety and has been advised repeatedly to seek psychological/psychiatric assistance for that. Having been unsuccessful with the one or two counsellors she has tried, and not being able to afford private mental health care, she has been repeatedly advised to seek care at county or other taxpayer-funded facilities that bill on a sliding scale, and/or to seek assistance from NAMI and the employee assistance services available through her employer She has refused to do so. I know Susie. She is one of the kindest and most caring people you would ever want to meet. She is not being harsh or hateful. She is simply voicing her feelings of frustration. I suspect she isn't the only one feeling this way at this point. [/QUOTE]
