Very exhausting experience....

[Guest guest]

My mother had a heart attack 2 weeks ago and I can't believe how upset it made

me. I realized that even though our relationship has been rocky over the years,

all that drama has been such a common thing that there will be a huge void when

she dies. I am an only child and my father was never in the picture, everything

falls on me. Not a pleasant experience! And now that she's out of the hospital

and starting to get her strength back, she's going back to her frustrating,

demanding self and it's so hard to feel sympathy and compassion for someone like

that.
