[quote=Anonymous]First off, thank you for all you do and for your dedication to helping people under such awful circumstances.

Second, crazy parents are going to be be crazy. Judgmental people will judge. I gave up my original career path because of my kids has special needs so I work far fewer hours than before. My family thinks I am lazy shit. My child's teachers and my friends and random mom's who just see me volunteering and helping my kid tell me what a dedicated and loving mom I am, but my own mother and sisters think I am worthless and an embarrassment because so much of my work is for free. They cannot fathom what it is to have a kid with SN and medical issues.

Now my aging mother expects me to at her beckon call because apparently she is more important than my family I created and because i don't work full time I should be her servant. I had to get therapy to learn to detach and see them for the jerks they all are.

Now if I were a doctor like you I think my mother would be over the moon with delight, but knowing her she would brag to everyone and then find a new way to make feel like a loser. It doesn't matter. She is an emotionally immature and stunted person and she can have any opinion she wants. I no longer value it.[/quote]
