Very helpful Prefab!!
There was something going on with my mother too--I try not to speculate to much but she was very driven yet occassionally depressed. She was very much in charge of our family all of the time.
I have tried to have similiar dialogue. The guilt is more intense today because my son moved out yesterday so all the activities and conversation involved is very triggering for me but I am OK.
Thanks for always being so helpful and thoughtful.
