um, i dunno...her "happy" is not what i would consider happy. i dont think she's ever been diagnosed but i know she has some kind of mental illness......she was always extremely tense, angry, frustrated, anxious, and consumed by her OCD'ness. I dont remember her by any means as happy go lucky, calm, stable, steady, etc. She can be very non-realistic in her emotions. Just very reactive. I think thats where T came in to my dream....she has portrayed lots of characteristics I wish my mom had....stable, steady, calm, self-assured, etc.......and in the dream she was very loving and affectionate. I know my mom loved me but she just wasnt capable of it in a typical way, unfortunately. ....writing all that put a knot in my stomach and a lump in my throat
