Cautiously optimistic

[~¤DG¤~]

Brooklyn,

Thank you so much for responding to my thread. You have provided me with a lot of valuable information.

My Mother still is a functioning alcoholic. I love her to death because she is my Mother, but I don't like her a lot of the time. She is very negative and pessimistic, and means well but she talks before she thinks.
When I told her that H and I separated her first words were "A man doesn't leave a woman unless he has a woman waiting in the wings.". Followed by "I would have kicked him to the curb months ago."

As you can see, very supportive. And she wonders why I refuse to discuss this sitch. I have kept away because I have enough negative thoughts on my own I don't need her adding to it.

I guess you can say the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.

I am in counseling, have been for almost 4 months and my therapist is amazing. She really has helped me. I feel so good after I leave, and it sticks with me for a few days.
I am also on meds too. 2 of them to be exact. One for anxiety and one for depression. They are helping me also. I still have moments, but I don't feel as out of control

Please...keep talking to me. It helps a lot.
