Back from a trip to my therapist, who advised me that my limbic system, responsible for my emotions, was running into my frontal cortex, which is responsible for reasoning out my thoughts, and being able to calm or route those thought before they become a screaming match, or keep coming out. I have ad/had, as well as other cognitive issues, and the major depression disorder does not help. I am disabled, and just went to my kid's elementary school to say hi to my daughter. All I got was a wave. So, I went to sign out, and she came, with her face filling with tears, saying, "Are you all right, Mom?", which of course, made me feel guilty, since I know you are not supposed to make your children responsible for your mental state (I read this in a book).

How does that all apply to your situation? Well, I would say, first, take a nap. Second, don't let anger get the best of you; that is giving control over to the other person. No one will truly understand what you are going through, and you have to thank God that that will never occur, otherwise, they would be suffering as you are.

You are being the best mom you can be right now, and he is a grown man with parental responsibilities. You are a grown woman, with the responsibility of taking care of yourself, which means staying on an even keel, emotionally. Keep that in mind. You do your best, and that is all anyone can expect from you. Getting into a screaming match will not convince anyone, and it only hurts you.

Telling him 'no" does not mean you don't love him, and he will stop loving you. He has to be mature to accept that. You are helping him, not hurting him. You are the parent, not the child. I wish you all the best. Take care of yourself, and God Bless you.
