Yes, you're right. It's like being stuck between a rock and a hard place. Sorry to hear that dude. The thing is, you were just a kid. What could you of REALLY done? It is to bad you feel like that because parents are supposed to be there for you, and not vice versa. Doesn't always happen that way now does it?That's really good to hear; I'm glad everyone figured it out in the long run before it was too late. I wanted so much to help my mother as a child, it haunts me but addiction plus depression is really a lethal duo.
Have you dated anyone with dependency issues? Or any strong traits you can link back to who your mother was during your childhood.
My current girlfriend suffers from anxiety, and mild depression (thats what I would call it anyways). She has been having a very hard time as of a year ago. She is currently in therapy. Before dating her I would of said that Anxiety is just a state of mind and can be easily fixed if you just change the way you look at things. Now I know that is not the case. I don't hold her anxiety against her though, her positives far outweigh her anxiety and depression problems. And I don't see my mom in her at all.. but then again I don't see my mom in anyone except for my oldest sister.
