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

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
