You are absolutely correct. I don't even meditate everyday and when I do it's only 8 minutes or less. My therapist who is very big on meditation therapy and he even goes to week long meditation retreats recommended me to start trying it at least. It's all very foreign to me, it's hard to get in...

Thank you Junebug! ;) And yes, I'm beginning to see as we get older, it's less likely going to improve. I need to change my way of thinking and realize she is mentally unstable. I've been told many times by my boyfriend, my mother wouldn't want me to delay my life for her, if she actually...

Yes, I completely agree with everything you just said. The hard part for me is getting to that point. I feel like such a pansy not being able to do something as simple as ignoring a phone call from her, or being able to say no to her. Anyone else I can, it's just when it comes to her, I freeze...

According to my therapist, it's the way she taught me...

I'm 25 years old now, and ever since I was 5 years old I've been physically and emotionally abused by my alcoholic mother. I remember as a child I had to help her change out of her soiled clothes after a night of drinking alone. Since my father couldn't stand her, he abandoned us for most of my...
