I really wanted to thank you guys for making me feel like it's okay to finally worry about myself and put myself first. I'll be honest, I feel guilty for cutting her out like this, but I really needed to do this for my own health. I'm starting to reach out more to my friends who are understanding of my situation and supportive of me.
I really think this is the best thing. Don't feel guilty, it sounds like you've been through a lot with her. Until she takes her meds on a regular basis and works with a team of mental health providers, it doesn't sound likely that she'll change. Take care of yourself and your Dad. You deserve that time.
