Hi magikwolfe,

OMG, this sounds really stressful. Why do you have to do this alone without help? This would make me mad!!! Gah. Well, I just wanted to let you know it sounds like you have all the right in the world to be PO'd and you are entitled to it. One thing that took me a long time to learn is that you can love someone (your mom) and still be angry at the situation, or even angry at her or others in your family. It doesn't mean you don't also love them. Feelings are very fluid and confusing and it is natural to have conflicitng feelings, and this is OK. (I was always the one in my family that had to keep my feeelings under wraps). Better to let feelings out and be honest with them. Is there any way you could see a therapist to talk to about these things?
Are you still able to be on the Cymbalta?

Sending supportive thoughts your way....

Elana
