[quote=Anonymous]My mother doesn't have nearly the amount of your mom but has always been financially independent and was a successful professional.  I always suspected she suffered from undiagnosed and untreated depression.  She always seemed to not have a realistic view of people or things in life.  The things she would say and do always frustrated me and then I started putting the pieces together as I got older and started raising my children.  I realized she was just not well mentally and I could not help her because she could not recognize that she needed professional help.  OP, you are going to have to dace reality and eventually move on from your mother.  My mother now has Parkinson's and is in declining health.  The mental illness has come out in full force but I think it's always been there.  Your mom sounds depressed but if she doesn't want to get help, you are not going to be able to help her.  It's hard but you are going to have to choose between your mental well being and caring for yourself and immediate family or being sucked into a black hole of depression with your mother.  All the best.[/quote]
