So sorry about your mom and I'm hopeful the treatments work for her. I'm the one my family turns to, not for stressful situations, but more for support, guidance, advice, or just to vent. I'm not great dealing with stress and anxiety, but hearing you talk about the things you learned from dealing with your dad's passing gave me hope that I can change my mindset to be better at it. Thank you for sharing!

I’m so sorry for you. Times like these are so hard.

So, congratulations on your self care. It sounds like you're not over with your challenge with your mother. I get what you are going through just a little bit. My mom has Parkinson's and I tell people that I have a nice bottle of wine for when mom passes away. Everyone thinks this is a bad thing but they are missing the point this is the best wine that I have and this will be a really low point in my life. Sometimes letting go is the is all we have. Good luck with your other family, and I get it what it's like to be the one always there in hard times, at least your not afraid of hypnosis like most of the world. (LOL) there is always the rewind technique. In the end it's whatever is best for everyone, and everyone will be sad. God speed!
