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.
But you shouldn't value yourself according to her measures. Forget about her, you are a beautiful woman, inside and out.

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've found that my parents used to stick to their routines no matter what. On a farm you have to, animals wait for no man.
It's their way of coping. You may feel blocked out but it is probably her way of coping. Try and find someone who can help with your problems, health care worker, social worker. Good luck. xxx

    Hi all! This is for those of you that have or have had the same neurologist for 4 years or more. I have been with mine now since 2009. He is one of the best movement disorder secialists in the midwest. I know he is extremely busy on the lecture circuit now and in fact not taking new patients there is a huge waiting list for him. BUT.... I feel like my visits are not what they use to be. He...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
