[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it. She feels better complaining to us than others. But she isn't willing to do things she complains about and I have a hard time listening over and over to easily fixible problems. (e.g., "I only have 2 friends" but she is unwilling to leave her room). We have offered all the resources, SSRIs, therapy, etc. and while she has taken us up on them, it's only helped so much. It's draining. I am sure this makes me a bad mother in many peoples' eyes, but I can't do it every day. Constant calls in the middle of the workday and refusal to get off the phone. Again, I know she's suffering, so I feel like $hit but I also can't just sit there listening to everything she can't do or doesn't like but won't take action on over and over. I want to validate her, and I know she needs us, but I need some boundaries and yet feel guilty erecting them. [/quote] You can pay for a good therapist for her. [/quote]
