[QUOTE="tryinghard, post: 162104, member: 4570"] Fran, Yes you are right. My mother is very ill. I wish I could help her but I think at this point she has to help herself. Nomad, I think my mom did not have headaches, I think that was the easiest way for her to explain to me that she was depressed. Was she truly abusive...I guess that is what I am struggling with. My mother is sutlely abusive, constantly.....when she is told she has hurt someones feeling she says things like, "Well I am only be honest" or " We are family, family is suppose to stand by each other no matter what even if you don't like it". Oh I could go on and on.....it is such a complicated situation, Lothlorein, Yes that sounds like my mom. A LOT like my mom.....There were good days (10 percent of the time) and the others were difficult. It seems to have gotten worse as she is older. I really feel bad for my mom. I know she is sick and I wish I could help. I have realized I can't make her better, nor can I take her actions and words anymore. That is a hard place for me to be. I am going to try and find a thearpist. I just don't know how in the world I am going to find the time....:surprised1: [/QUOTE]
