[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly your post shows zero empathy. Zero. So it sort of makes sense you mom is saying that about you. Sorry, OP.

Sounds like she's going through a lot. Really, A LOT. And your entire long post is about how the hell she's going through affects YOU.

Take a breath, OP. See how you can think about your mom for a minute.[/quote]

I posted already and relate a lot to OPs post. I had plenty of empathy for my mother as I am sure OP does as well. The issue is a mentally ill person who refuses proper treatment. my mother wanted me to be everything to her-her therapist, her verbal punching bag, her assistant with dad, her slave (I lived closer). Your child cannot be your emotional dumping ground, nor can a friend for that matter. It is imperative to get the therapy, join the support groups, spread things out with friends so you don't just dump it all on one. You also need to have boundaries. The days I could be her therapist, etc she abused her power as mom and lashed out and went after every hot button in an attempt to get me to bend to her will. She was absolutely abusive and every boundary eventually got violated so I had to set bigger ones ans have zero tolerance.

You know what? I have faced far more stress than my mother. I am not going to go into detail, but far more. I knew she was incapable of even playing a tiny roll in my support system. I didn't throw temper tantrums and give people verbal beatings. I got myself help, found other people in the same boat and still I tread water and swim because sadly these are all ongoing stressors that may last a lifetime.

If you are going through as you say "a lot. Really A LOT" it is not an excuse to rage at people. Sorry, it's not, IT'S NOT! You put on your big girl pants, get help and move forward. To the poster, above, take a breath and think about human decency for a minute.[/quote]
