Unhappy...

[lonelysith66]

Hi. I'm feeling low and depressed because everything in my life is horrible. It all began when my mother got gastric bypass. She then started to get complications from it, going into the hospital every month. Then, her mood changed. She gets mad over everything now and criticizes everything I do, bring up every mistake I've made and we fight more and more. It's not just her and me, it's affecting my sister and my niece as well. Not only that, but due to the fact she's in and out of the hospital all the time, we're in financial trouble. And, I can't tell her or my sister how I feel because it would turn into another fight. I feel sad, angry and unhappy. The gastric bypass surgery has ruined my family's life.

Lonely,
Hey, don't feel bad! There is a very simple explanation for what your Mother is doing. She loves you more than you know. When we need to vent, and she really needs to vent, we take our frustrations on the ones we love most. The reason we do this is because we know they will forgive us. We know we won't lose them because it is the strongest bond. This is the greatest compliment. Your Mother's emotions are doing this! Don't change yourself. She has chosen you because you are you. Remain true to yourself. Now that you understand what is going on, all that energy is back! The love has always been there, give your Mother a big hug, she needs it. Prayers

Good morning lonely,

I'm sorry that you and your family is going through this trying time. You don't give your age, but is there a school counselor or someone that you can talk to about this? It sounds like some of your feelings about what is happening to you and your family aren't being heard or acknowledged.

Take good care.
