[quote=Anonymous]It definitely affected me. I do not know how to get my point across most of the time without getting angry or becoming emotional. It’s hard for me to express myself in general actually. I have battled depression and anxiety most of my life.  I have terrible resentment towards my mom while also feeling completely responsible for her.  Even today, I can’t talk to her at all.  One quick example, I told her not to leave the porch light on (she smokes) when she goes to bed. She got immediately defensive and loud and said “SHE NEVER EVEN TURNS IT ON!!!” mind you my son and I don’t go out there because we have no reason to. She said “I’m not crazy.” I guess that means I am for finding the light on every night.  I just shit her up by saying she is right because if I don’t it becomes a huge fight every time. I can’t send her back home because she would be destitute.  I am twice divorced because I have no communication skills. I fake it well enough at work but it rears its ugly head there too.[/quote]
