It sounds like you have a real 'push-and-pull' relationship w/ your mother Matt. On the one hand, you are comfortable w/ her and she is comfortable w/ you, but on the other hand you are both venting your own problems at one another. I think she needs counseling. She plays too big of a part in your life. It's not really your fault, or hers. It just happens sometimes between two persons in a family. Anyway, don't blame yourself or feel offended. I just think that often some people who 'seem to think they've got it all together', are exactly the ones that really need the help. My mother is in 100% denial about my mental illness. It hurts. Thank goodness I don't have to live w/ her. Pls try hard not to do anything drastic. I don't understand how she can control what meds your P gives you. Do you have a good male or female friend you could talk to, or better yet, move in w/ for awhile? You and your mom either need counseling 'together' or need a break from each other. She probably sincerely thinks she is doing you a favor by keeping you for the med, and has no idea that she is not! These relationships can be toxic for both, so need help or a break. Don't ever run away from something. If you must run, run to something you choose. Please take care of yourself.
sincerely, cf
