[quote=Anonymous]Sorry you are experiencing this OP (and others on this thread.) I am currently in intensive therapy for issues I never even knew I had, until I developed severe anxiety in my 30s. I too hate to be truthful, because it just brings me pain with my family. My Mom sounds very similar to OP's Mom and I know I will never get an apology ever...not even the half baked apology OP received.

She has only started admitting (after denying it for years) that many members of her family have mental health problems. In fact, my Mom does not even know I am in therapy now and I do not discuss it with her, and my therapist agrees--since I am doing this for me, not Mom. When I did tell her about a previous therapist her response was: "no one in MY family has mental problems" and "it's always the mother's fault, isn't it."

Only when I realized that there will never be an apology, and my job is to figure out how to deal with myself first and with my Mom (second or third or whatever) until she dies, have things started to turn around for me. [/quote]
