Going for your BA in Psych?? That's one helluvan accomplishment!

I wish I had more to offer you right now, but am in a bad pain cycle right now. Just know that there are many people who care and who gain strength from seeing that others have succeeded thru their dx to have a life! Don't use your father's/mother's measuring stick to guage your success... it's YOUR life not theirs. You're here, you're functioning and you are getting help when you need it.

kudos to you!!!

Thanks VoN, I appreciate your kind words. I hope your pain is better lately. I have been trying to live MY life for many years, and when things get tough--I go back to mom's. She has a part--she is an enabler, which hasn't helped, but I'm over the blame game, just disappointed in where my life is right now. I have a jealous mom too. She lost her youth, and she sees I don't need her much and she wants to be needed, she craves attention, and I have to take care of ME. sorry.
