[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 451791, member: 11001"] I am so sorry with the great amount of stress you have had in the last few years. Holy cow, how are you on your feet? Have not read everyones responses, hope I don't repeat. I believe your response is normal for you. Your mom's may be normal for her. A counselor once told me that my sister was so emotional because she was acting out the feelings of everyone else in the house. We were actually getting some sort of "vicarious" benefit. The rest of us are pretty emotionally flat by her standards and tend to cry or get angry in private. I actually think the lack of showing my own grief may be why I struggle with an autoimmune disease. Those feelings need to come out some way. I do like the idea of talking about it. It has helped my sister to know that I am sad or mad too, but I deal with it differently. It has helped me to know that she is not an emotional wreck-she is who she needs to be in these times. I hope that you will be a support to each other and find comfort in your own ways. Hugs to you! [/QUOTE]
