Hullo All,
So I'm pondering on this central issue of being my 82 yr young and impossible Mother. Am only child and a daughter...it is getting worse and not any laughs really at all. She and my father finally got divorced when I was 18 or so. Both are just brutal. Hard asses and my Mom never remarried (imagine that!), though my Dad did long ago and they're still together-no kids :-( Mom lives about half hour from me, I continue to go out leaving my dog with my alcoholic (no help, etc). She's not very nice to me. In CBT and take Serequel which has been remarkably effective :-) very sad and stressed, any O lies no back-up out there? Thank you! |

Me too. Only child, never married, no kids. Dad died. I'm the sole carer for my mother and we live together. No other relatives in this country. I take fluoxetine and lots of vodka or gin. It's hard. I hear you! Hugs from England.

Had what I can only call a "Medical Miracle Recovery". Yes. Let's just say that ![]() I've got three beautiful YA and adult kiddos. (My eldest, a wonderful man now, sort of inadvertently has produced three kids of his own)!!! Anyhow, it's extra hard coz my hub is a "practicing" alcoholic. Meaning he's been in rehab three times. Leaving me to tend with our two young kids and all household and $$ responsibilities. Longer story Shorter: he's wanted to get a divorce for a while. Since the booze became The Most Important Thing. I'd be way better off as he feels it's all his $$ and won't treat me as equal partner etc, won't pay for my health ins even. He's gotten worse fast now, too. So, we got a difficult dog and we both adore him and he, us. Idk how the hell that'll work out. But anyway, I thank you so much and sorry I got carried away...I'm an artist, a painterly persona! Poetic and all media really. If you ever need some emotional back-up, Dont hesitate to post here, I guess. I'm brand new here, so. Or "PM"s?? Idk! Lol |
