Head hurts, major dental appointment later today.
Yesterday I had a bad dream where my mother accused me of being a bad mother again and in the dream I was screaming at her to get out of my house. Then in real life, I went to here appt for diner, and just like the dream she made comment to my younger son how his older brother had a smile but was crying inside all the time. (STAB STAB STAB) and no, I'm not a bad mother, my 22 year old still lives with me and hugs me all the time and just got out of college and is signing up this year for police force, so the proof is in the pudding, but it still hurts that she keeps doing this when she has been such a narcissist mean cow to me all her life.
Sorry for the petty rant. It's what I say to her over and over again, but she doesn't listen, and feels good to get out to intelligent people. Thanks for lending me your eyes.
I'm feeling better already.

Of course your not a bad mom.
Love and hugs!
I very much do need a hug - lots of hugs. Having a hard time deciphering results from my Dr. appt yesterday. I've been in chronic pain for 7+yrs, with pain peaking primarily in pelvis, migraines, full body aches and pains, dogs gnawing at my bones for the last 2 years. Dr. did HUGE full screen of potential viruses and levels, more than my Rheum every did.
He said I have 7 active viruses and infection running rampant in my body. That the VIRUSES are potentially what's causing all my pain, concentration and memory issues, etc. I'm starting an anti-viral as well as have started synthroid and cortef for adrenals.
I feel even MORE lost with these results - happy to have a potential lead and way to get my life back! But my loved ones raise fears of how contagious I may be...?!!? For YEARS "the pain has been in [my] head" - and I've been told to get over it despite DX Fibro, MPS, PVD, Migraine, hypothyroid....NOW there's fear of me infecting my elderly parents - "would I want them to suffer as much as I had" - when my suffering has never been taken seriously - that I just need to (wo)man-up.
Thank you in advance for the hugs.

I'm sorry your head hurts today - I'm sure the dental appt will go well - I will keep you in my thoughts! Just try to think positive thoughts and let your mind go, fixate on tasks at hand. Your sons sound like wonderful young men.
Those who are closest to us can hurt us the most - especially our mothers. My mom and I are way too close yet I push her away, but she's always voicing her unasked for opinion and putting me down - even when I had many successes in life when I was feeling better and more active. I feel your pain and struggles - I am also struggling to try an not let my mother's comments and persistent negative thoughts and opinions not eat at me. Wishing you much luck and light! Alicia
enigma, sounds like you need a pillow with her picture on it to punch every now and then. hugs
