Hi losty,

It seems like we are in a pretty similar place right now. I was away to take care of my mother. As difficult as that was, I was quite busy, felt very useful to my family, and it was sort of a respite from all the insanity I have to deal with at home. Now that I am back home, all the negative emotions are resurfacing. The anger is definitely back. Just when I thought I was detaching...

We all have our days (weeks or months) where we struggle emotionally. It is ok. Just know that you are not alone in these struggles.

I think the problem is that it is sometimes easier to complain and talk about our emotions than it is to take concrete steps to improve out sitch. I know this because my sister just berated me on the phone 5 minutes ago for doing exactly that. I see a lot of analysis paralysis and looking at your past in your last post. I think we both need to accept (again!) that we can't change our S and that we have force ourselves to look to the future, no matter how daunting it is. Forget the hindsight: you can't drive a car forward if you are looking in the rear-view mirror the whole time.

Truly sorry you are going through this.
