In reply to the board is PSYCHOlogical Babble after all! ; ) » TexasChic, posted by zenhussy on November 20, 2003, at 16:15:42
Thanks zenhussy. I guess I'm feeling a little overly sensitive right now. I'm actually getting a panic attack because its time to go home, and I've already taken a Xanax. I feel like I'm about to burst out crying right hear at the office. I'm just so tired of my mom's verbal abuse and now the threat of physical abuse. Plus she's got my grandmother upset, and since Grandmother is ill and has the beginnings of dementia, sometimes she forgets what exactly is going on and ends up griping me out too! I know I have to get out of there for my sanity's sake. I just really don't know what's causing my mom to take this turn towards violence. If its just her rage at me and the fact that she can't make me do what she wants, then maybe moving out would be the best for everyone. But what if when I leave she turns her rage to Grandmother? Well, actually, Grandmother may be able to handle herself better than I can. My mom has always been intimidated by her, and if she tries to start barking out orders, Grandmother will tell her to get the heck out (except she can cuss like a sailor). And I believe that's exactly what my mom would do. But there in lays the next problem, I would by then have rented an apartment, and Grandmother needs someone to live with her. And then there's alway the other side of the coin, what if Mom is so far gone into her psychosis that she does get violent with Grandmother? This is just so confusing . Thanks to anyone who had the patience to read this far. I've got to make the trek home now. I'll check the board tomorrow,
