Crusader, I'm so sorry you went through that. As an abuse survivor, and particularly a male abuse survivor, I know I run a high risk of abusing others. It's one of the reasons I take recovery very seriously. The last thing I want is to continue the cycle. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm so sorry your mother was unable to get her illness under control enough to care for you the way you deserved to be cared for. My heart goes out to you.

I know you wrote this a long time ago, but I just wanted to say I really appreciate that you are mindful of your own recovery. You sound like a responsible, caring person. I value that a lot in a person. Very admirable.
