Subject: Sometimes when things are perfect, they totally suck.
So a lot has happened this week.
The stress load that I had, when from a shit ton, to very little to a whopping fuck ton.
Truths are coming out about my mother.
I had already assumed some of them, but they were confirmed yesterday.
And more were brought out from under a 15 year log.
I have lost all respect for her.
It all just makes me sick to my stomach.
And I don't even want to see her.
It's pretty upsetting when HER best friend calls ME crying because she's worried about my mother.
Neither one of us know what to do.
We want to help her, but we don't know what the most effective approach would be.

Other than that, everything is great.
I have my job back.
I'm hopefully going to get hired in soon.
I got another raise. So I now make $9.00 an hour.
Not too shabby.
Hopefully it'll go up when I get hired in.
Either that or I can find another job that pays even more than that.

Being helpless when you want to pull your mum out of a slump is the worst ever. I know. I love you.

Stop offering her help.

I know it's hard, but my psychiatrist told me himself:

Once all of her avenues are cut off, she's going to get desperate, 'white knuckle it,' and realise she's going to lose everything if she doesn't get better. It gives an all new meaning to 'tough love.'

What you need to realise is that these choices were your mothers, and you had no part in them - so you should have no part in suffering the consequences. Ultimately, only your mum can decide to get help or not. There's just a moment when everyone needs to step back and let her handle herself.

I know it's hard, and it's going to hurt, but there's nothing more you can do.

We haven't offered her help.
With what she is doing, she's going to end up in jail.
