I just found this website and I am relieved

Hello all. I have been having issues with my mentally ill mother since I was very young. Things seem to get better and then I am back where I started. So I was relieved when I found this forum. I'm sure you all know that lonely feeling thinking that you're the only one going through this kind of thing especially seeing how other families interact with each other growing up. I have been reading other posts and wow! other people with very similar situations. Thank you to whoever started this forum!

Re: I just found this website and I am relieved

People don't realize how deep the hurt goes and how far back. I have a person in my life that though singing Patsy Cline's "Crazy" whenever the subject of my mother came up was cute. I asked them to stop they just did it more. They didn't understand that it was exactly the kind of thing I'd been trying to forget for 40 years. She was great at the you brought it on yourself game and other people don't see how unfun all that is. Heck, I'm just now getting to the point where I can recognize where some of this was coming from.
