Being institutionalized.

[smc]

I work taking care of my mom, and my pay goes to her too.

I know.... I thought of you while writing my above post to CA.... it seems to me your situation is much more co- dependent?

or do I have that wrong?

I've spoken with you about your situation about 2 years ago.. (diff user name) and from your replies it seemed that you feel trapped, and also guilty for any idea of living separately from her... (?) why the hell is she getting your pay?


it seems like you also have "learned helplessness"...

I care about you - but it bugs me so much I don't give you advice anymore....

it's you that has to make the change...
