Do you find that other people's moods whom you are close to, affect you?

I seem to have a problem with this...I notice if someone I am close too, i.e. my mother is in a bad mood for the day and sends out negativity, I tend to feel worse...I'm in no way saying other people should affect your sobriety or your own mood, but I find this happening with me alot...I guess its about surrounding yourself with positive people...I know everyone gets in a bad mood once in awhile..but I just wish my mother would be more supportive...I know she's miserable in her own life with my father, (who's an alcoholic) but sometimes hearing the dread in her voice is such a downer, she has so many problems, and I feel so bad because there is nothing I can do about it...Don't get me wrong she has helped me through everything, and she is the most beautifulperson I know...and I am VERY grateful to her, she has been a wonderful mother to me is still is..but, she is very Co-dependant and I know some of that has passed down to me...I know I have my bad moods ALOT...especially since trying to stay sober...but I just feel worse when I talk to her sometimes...I'm very grateful to SR..Thank you all again for the support.
