[QUOTE="ellenr1, post: 20920, member: 2547"] I understand how you feel about your mom not being supportive. People who don't have children like ours don't get it. I can't talk to my mother about my kids because she just thinks they are spoiled and manipulative, period. The two older ones have seven hospitalizations between them, and she knows all about them, but she still thinks our problems are because I'm not tough enough on them. I've decided that the reason she diminishes their problems is because of the stigma of mental illness; if there's a genetic component that means she might have something to do with it. I think most adults of her generation can't handle that idea. I've also come to the conclusion lately that my ex-husband isn't the only adult who attempts to manipulate me. setting boundaries has always been hard for me, and it's the number one source of my anxity and depression. Come and vent here. [/QUOTE]
