[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am so happy you posted and I checked DCUMs so that I can give you very valuable advice akin to advice I got years ago. Her problems are not your problems. She is an adult. Physically capable. She has no life threatening or crippling health issues. Therefore, you have permission to "detach with love." Read about "detachment" and codependency. Buy Beattie's Daily Meditation book - here it is. http://www.amazon.com/The-Language-Letting-Meditations-Codependents/dp/0894866370. It will make you feel so much better about not taking on your mother's problems. And this is not "mean" or "wrong." And if you take her in, you take in allll of her problems. And if you are not working, she won't want to either. Hugs to you and good luck detaching![/quote] I wrote the post just below yours...when done I then saw yours...excellent and heartfelt advice as well as a great book recommendation.[/quote]
