[quote=Anonymous]My parents did not set themselves up for a quality retirement, rejecting advice from both professionals and loved ones. My mother has partially-treated depression, I say partially because I don’t think she always takes her medication. When she’s in a mood and we happen to be on the phone, she will say something like, “What can I do, this is the life I was given,” or similar. I never know how to respond or mostly, what she wants from me. I usually just tell her I’m sorry and change the subject to something more upbeat. But I hate being put in the middle of it. I NEVER call her to complain about my life, EVER. But sometimes it feels like that’s all she does with me. [/quote]
