[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 96450, member: 2211"] Oh, Sharon, my mom does this to my sisters and me all the time. She spent 4 weeks here with me. I was working full time, making dinners every night, 2 quiches each week for her breakfasts, and left her lunches, came home from work each day at lunchtime the whole time, had to clean her poop and pee and change her sheets every other day, help her in and out of the shower....and still she cries. When she's here, she says she should go back home but when she's home, she calls me crying to come here! Right now she is sad because I am not making my family travel down to NY to my brother's house for Thanksgiving. She is coming back up to CT with my sister the very next day and spending a week at her house! I told mom I would visit her while she's there, since it's 5 minutes from my house! Apparently, that wasn't good enough. There is only so much you can do. Please try and let the guilt go. If your mom is making a concious decision to be depressed, then she can make a choice not to be and not lay the guilt on you. Enjoy your holidays - I don't understand why some family has to make it so difficult. Hugs~ [/QUOTE]
