I am glad to see they codified the old Life Events list (score >40 and you are having a bad year!) and also the Negative Life Events questionnaire.
Its taking me a few years, but yeah i feel like i am finally getting over my mother's presence in my life. I wish i had continued ignoring her as i did when i was a child. But THERAPISTS were all like, tel me about your relationship with her. I was like, there isnt one. Shes a waitress. She used to be a cook. She got a better job, good for her. But she was never my mother. She never bandaged a knee. She abandoned me to a bucket of water and a bar of Dial soap.
