Hi Girls,
Cindi, sorry about your test. That stinks when you get all prepared and then get cancelled. What a bummer. How have things been with your sister?

Judy, glad to see you back with us. The things you said about your mother remind me of my mother. Now that my Dad is in a nursing home, she has all good things to say about him, but when he was home he was nothing but a jackass to her. It gets under my skin when she gets all teary-eyed when she talks of him when he was well. Too bad she didn't treat him a little nicer back then.
Marylynne, I hope you do take a class. It will do you so much good to get out even once a week. And don't let your mother make you feel guilty for doing something for yourself. Let her talk, who cares? Make yourself happy, some way, some how. Keep up the counceling, I believe it will help you. You are like me, always trying to please people but nobody ever tries to please us, right?
Dani, welcome and thank you for your advice. I do try to follow most of that advice but as you know, it's not always easy. I can identify with you somewhat. My mother never believes anything I tell her but if someone else tells her the same thing, then it's accepted. I've gotten to the point where I don't even try anymore. Then she says stuff like "If you knew, why didn't you tell me?" BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BELIEVED ME ANYWAY!!!! My mother is also very negitive. I never do anything right and when I do, it's never enough. I hope I never make my only daughter feel the way my mother makes me feel. It's not a good feeling. And then she wonders why her children don't spend time with her.
On a happy note; you won't hear from me for at least a week, I leave Sunday for Vegas with my boyfriend. I will be thinking of you all and hoping you are having better times. I'll still be on-line for today but probably not all weekend.
Love you all,
Sha
