[quote=Anonymous]I am sorry for the loss of your beloved father, OP. You and your sister need time to recover from this trauma. Therapy is an excellent way to work through your feelings and to figure out where to go from here with your mother. I have a mother who, on the outside, appeared to enjoy motherhood and working as a team with my father to raise happy and successful children. However, being an adventurer and extrovert, it was enormously frustrating to her. When my father became chronically ill in his sixties, it meant her ability to realize her dreams of finally being able to travel and socialize post-children had to be postponed indefinitely. She is now bitterly caring for him. Your perception of your mother during your growing up years may be quite lacking. It sounds like she is desperately living her life while she is still healthy enough to do so. [/quote]
