[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 133233, member: 1233"] I second Star. It takes a lot to know that this move will drag you down unless you get therapy. I also agree that if you don't click with a therapist you can ask for suggestions. It is a good idea. You also should check your insurance, and any Employment Assistance Program provided by either your company or your husbands. Our EAP will cover the first 3 therapy sessions for each problem. Also if we call, the first 3 with a new therapist. And, if you forget to check your insurance then you may be in trouble. One of the things, about your mom not letting life be normal, makes me also suggest Al-Anon. It can take time to find a group you like, but most towns have several. If alcohol or other substances were NOT part of what you think went on, it might be worth going anyway. Neither of my parents drank much, but I am the Adult Grandchild of an Alcoholic. It really made a big impact on my life without me knowing. And Al-Anon is wonderful. If your mom abused substances, then you might want to ask for Adult Child meetings. Also, there is a book called "The Laundry List" about being an adult child of an alcoholic. I was AMAZED at how many fit ME as an Adult Grandchild. Sending many hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
