No wonder I value myself so little

My Mom knows I am having a really bad bad day (understatement) -- trying to negotiate with some asshole eviction lawyer and my prick landlord (way over my head) -- to try to make sure I have a roof over my head

but she asked me not to call her as she is busy getting her house ready for a two hour bridge party she is hosting tomorrow.

In other words buying bags of M&Ms, peanut butter filled pretzels and vacuuming.

And ... that takes all day ... and takes presidence over her daughter.

I'm sorry.

Some times "our stuff" is just too much for our family members. Sometimes we have to rely on outside people for support. Do you have a therapist or maybe an aunt or someone else you might be able to confide in? You can always post your thoughts here and share. Your mom might just be protecting her own mood and keeping herself away from distress. Seeing her daugther in such pain may be really hard for her. Just a thought....Blessings!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

    My ENT sent me for more tests last week...one where they had me lie back in a chair, with blacked out goggles on so I couldn't see while they administered water into my ears one at a time ( first warm, then room-tempurature, then cold) while they video taped my eyes and asked me questions to determine how cognizant I was... This test went HORRIBLY. They were about 20 seconds or so into...
