- I just wanted to thank all of you who responded to my post . . . i am
- reminded of how awesome people can be. :-) :-) :-)
-
- I'm sorry i haven't had time to respond, though . . . i've been kinda
- busy but i had to let you all know that i *really* appreciate all of
- your comments and support!
-
- well, just to let y'all know how it's going, things aren't turning out
- the way i thought it would . . . some for better and some for worse . . .
- 'some for worse' is the fact that my mom wavers in her decisions and
- cannot decide whether or not to 1) go back home and seek counseling or
- 2) stay here and establish a life of her own or 3) go home and forget the
- whole thing (as she has done so many times in the past). By the laws of
- entropy and/or lowest energy states, she seems to choose #3 more than
- either of the first two . . . which i feel to be an extreme mistake because
- even though the problem/conflict/fight/frustration she has with my father
- is constant, her desire to commit suicide has seemed to increase with each
- argument lately. this is something that i have encountered to a large extent
- this time. but i think that she has agreed that if she goes home she
- will buy a ticket with an open-ended return, so that will help . . .
-
- and she seems to forget the reasons behind certain decisions and seems
- to feel strongly about entirely differnt things from moment to moment
- and i am sometimes ready to give up but then i think that if i let her
- be then she will make the same confining and dangerous decision this
- time.
-
- i have asked her if she wants me to post something to this group for
- her "anonymously" . . . so i may do that . . . but she has no clue that
- *i* am posting to this group . . . .
-
- thankyouthankyouthankyou again to all of you . . . you all are wonderful!
