[QUOTE="tryinghard, post: 162077, member: 4570"] Sorry Marg and Totoro I have been so busy I work this is the first chance I have had to post! Marg, I should have added more "color" to my comments but felt my post was already too long! My brother and I get a kick out of my mom telling us what her thearpist tells her for a variety of reasons. First, for years she said she went to them but they told her she was the problem and that mad her angry and she never went back! Now (she says) she has found this one and LOVES him. He is the only one who understands her. My sister in law jokes about how she would love to be a fly on the wall and just listen. I am sure it would be a hoot. Yes, my brother is hurting. He is a fantastic guy with a great head on his shoulders and a deep sense of responsiblity for both my parents. He lives very close and is constantly taking care of both of them. The only two things I have told him is that he does not need to feel bad for what has occurred between me and my mom. I have told him his wedding my have been the catalist, but it was not the cause. Also, the way my mother treats my sister in law is HORRIBLE. My mother calls their home a few times a week and does things to get my brother upset. Once he is upset it ruins his time with sister in law. I do believe my brother has gone to thearpy and has used some of the techniques they have taught him to deal with our mom. And you are right on...my mom does not have the ability to be the mother I wish she could be. Totoro, I read your post and I could relate. Thanks for your support! I try my best everyday for my children to know how much I love them and am here for them. [/QUOTE]
