,

Why would you say goodbye? Are you moving or is something else going on. You

have been starting to show some of the symptoms from last spring. Not good.

Question, Does your daughter live at your moms or in your trailer ? I know I'm

being nosey but I was wondering how your move will effect her.

My mother has been legal guardian of my daughter since her births

mothers death of a drug overdose Jan. 1,1994. Yes I am moving very

soon but not sure just yet, most likely localy. This Spring I'm

springing out on my own and the Control Unit(mom) is taking it

personal. I have to much on my mind to be reading and replying to

post as every mental effort put forth is going into preperation for

my move. I'm getting a Federal Grant that enables the disABLED to who

are considered homeless to get thier own place to dwell. I have been

paying 300$$$ a month to sleep in a camper w/no water or sewer while

my older bro. SLEEPS all day evryday w/out working or paying rent and

I'm sick and tired of being treated like SH*T in many regards! I'm

BURNED out on many things to say the least. Maybe I shouldn't

unsubcribe just go AWOL! Last Spring will NOT repeat itself where I

stopped taking antidepressants and shot @ my brother for reasons

listed above.

Did this come through, ? If so, this is *WONDERFUL* news!!! My

word!!! There is simply *nothing* like getting Your Own Place. So

much of recovering from or coping with illness, physical or mental or

spiritual, hinges on being in a healthy environment. Your Own Place

means that you will gain some control over the way you live. Doing

the little things, like keeping it neat and clean, and taking pride

in it, can be such a healing thing. You can make it your refuge, a

place where you have peace. It doesn't happen all at once, but it's

a really positive thing to work on. It will take some work and

energy, but what better thing to spend it on?

It's unfortunate that the Malfunctioning Parental Unit is taking it

personally; lots of people get upset at losing their doormat. ;D But

I think this could be a great step for you, in getting away from an

unhealthy, abusive situation.

I don't know anything about your situation, of course, but I can't

help but think that your getting your own place may help things. It

doesn't mean you're abandoning your daughter, if you're worried about

that; you'll hopefully get where a better living situation will help

make *you* better, and help you and your daughter to have a better

relationship, which will help *her*.

I wouldn't unsub if I were you. I can't keep up either. Last week I

deleted 7,000 unread posts from my two Fibro lists. I read a few

when I can and reply to even fewer that I can. You can always scan

through the titles, see if there's anything that applies to you, and

let us know that you're ok.

Not a good idea, stopping the antidepressants. You are working so

hard to get on your feet in so many ways, against such a mountain of

difficulties, and Your Own Place is such a big step in the process.

Please don't risk losing the progress that you're making! Also,

realize that a big step like this, even if it's away from a bad

situation, is a big change and will have an effect on you. Don't let

that stop you, and don't think that there's something wrong if you

get upset from the stress of the move. At the end of moving day, you

will be able to sit down in Your Own Place, take a deep breath, and

be at home. This is a Big Thing, but I think it's a really Good

Thing!

Well , you know we are here for you and you need to do what you

have to do to keep your sanity. It does sound like an awesome

opportunity to get into your own place and space. Remember that just

because your brother isn't paying anything monetarily, you don't know

what he may be going thru psychologically living in the same house as

your mom, especially if she is as much of a control unit as it sounds!

Good luck; sporadically keep in touch with us so we know you are

okay. I enjoy your posts.

Take care,

Darlene

I just read your post, I do not mean to get into your business,

but I do know we both suffer from bipolar. I do not like the way you

said goodbye. I have been there it seems to me you need to talk to

someone a counselor, doctor, suicide line. I am just speaaking from

experience please take my advice. Hang in there ther will be better

days.

You are in my prayers, . I just don't get how your mom can be so clueless,

or so different in the way she treats her sons. We understand about not having

the emotional energy for the group. Just come back when you feel up to it.

Take care.
