[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just need to say this out loud.

I have a catastrophic fear of my mother outliving my father.

I’m an only child. My mother is extremely codependent on my father. She has diagnosed anxiety and depression she refuses to treat. She has isolated herself from everyone but me, has no friends, no family members. She has quite literally burned every single bridge. I do love my mother, but retaining anything other than a transactional relationship with her at this point is challenging. She’s NOT a pleasant person. The day could be perfect with everything going according to plan and she would find something to complain about. And everything makes her SO anxious.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to handle her if my dad passes, and it terrifies me. She’s so needy, and I know I can’t fill that void. I have fantasies where I abandon her, and I’m not even that upset about it.

I don’t know how I’m going to do this. I’m absolutely terrified. [/quote]

Therapy for you.

Therapy and medication for her. She doesn’t have to live that way.[/quote]
