[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 378882, member: 1233"] I am glad you haven't turned her down flat, and are leaning toward accepting her help if the dentist can do it for the amt your mom can afford. I know how proud you are, and how stubborn. You have worked very very hard, and gone without a whole lot so that you could live within your means. That pride, stubborness, and willingness to work of yours are good things, but not when taken to extremes. Right now, this is extremes. I also know how much you enjoy giving to others, esp gifts that come from the heart. Our society puts a huge emphasis on giving material things, and we often forget that accepting them is important also. Sometimes, the best, biggest gift we can give to someone is to graciously and humbly accept something they want to give to us. She seems to want to do this for you, to give you this gift. As independent and self sufficient as you are, she may not feel that you need her. THis is a way to show her that you do, that there is a time when you are willing to lean on her a little bit, the way she leans on you when her mental illness is more active, for lack of a better way to phrase it. Please get them done as soon as you can. She is right about how you would feel if easy child or Nichole were in your position and you were able to help. [/QUOTE]
