Still Alive

She's on Cymbalta. She's been on it for the past two years. It's not just depression. It's her general attitude-life is to be dealt with. You have a lot in life and your goal is to live it. She has no optimissism about anything, never did.  I can do so much but she can suck me into her vortex and I can't let that happen. Sounds selfish, but I've spent my entire life trying to get out of the bleak shadow she has painted me in to. I will not go back. She's an adult. She knows what she is doing. She chooses to live life this way. I am one who believe many medical problems are strongly associated to emotional and spiritual isssues. I don't think it's a coincidence that she has had heart trouble all of her life. She's not a very loving person. Having said that she IS still my mother and I care about her but . . . I have to live my own life, worry about my own children and my own health. She refuses to change.

Sending healing thought her way ((HUGS))!!!!

So sorry to hear that this is her general disposition. I hope you have people close to you that can keep you supported and out of the vortex of negativity.
She is a lucky woman to have you and your dad to support her.
