it hit me tonight what i'm missing in life. when the one thing i want, is the only thing i can't have... all i want is my mom. days like this, when i feel like all i wanna do is vent to her about all my problems and i can't, it sucks. since i was 16 i knew that no matter how hard i tried to bring her back and no matter how much i needed her it just wasn't gonna happen. the hardest part is that she's still here. she didn't die. she lives less than 5 miles away form me. but every since that day when she had her breakdown she's not the same person. she's become a shell of the mom i always thought i would have. god, i wish i hadn't taken it so for granit. she's not the mom i expected to be able to depend on, who would give me the advice i so desperatley need. and when i do try to talk to her about real life she reminds me of a child who just doesn't get it.

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I can't imagine how you feel. My father past away 11 years ago and he was so special and close to me that I miss him so much, but I can't imagine what it is like for you. I still have dreams that he is alive and in hospital and no one told me...it's weird. Maybe talking this out with a therapist would help? But I think it is a huge step to have the insight into what's been 'eating' away at you--no pun intended.

Oh dear girl.... I cannot imagine how difficult it must be to see the person who has been strong, suddenly seem child like. What a loss you must feel The relationship and roles may have changed, but your love for each other has not and that is the important thing. People are quite resilliant, and you are stronger than you think. Give to your mom the love she needs and take from her what she is able to give. For the other things that you need, just reach out to friends, family and us. No one could ever replace her advice, but we are all glad to lend an ear
