Does any of what she said carry weight. Does anything at all she speaks of possibly need to change?
YES This response by her is the same thing I have been hearing for months, so it comes as no surprise. She wants me to blow up my life, I hear her, I have made some changes. They drew no response. There are no right or wrong answers in this. Just different paths that we can take. Each path is filled with different perils that can overtake us. I would gladly take another path if she were by my side. By myself I question whether I want to take this path knowing at the end I might be going the wrong way.
I will digress for a second. My mother is a genius! She is bipolar, everything she says has some truth to it, but it is so twisted that it makes no common sense. She is off of her meds again. About the 40th time in 50 years. We stopped saving her a long time ago. I had an experience with her yesterday which I am not going to detail now, but it was crazy as usual. So to bring this into the rest of my life my W is not bipolar, however she is depressed. She has been told by her C this and she refuses to listen. So I have listened to her, I have made some changes.
Do I change my path to save her? I wish I knew what was the right thing to do.
I am ready for more 2x4's please hit me with them!
