I've shared with this board about my father being in jail, and a lot of stuff around his case is coming to a head. Any energies you have for that situation I will gladly accept.
However, what I'm really coming to you here for is for me and for my family as we all deal with this together. My mother especially--she's so overwrought, she picked a fight with me and took a swing at me yesterday. She's not a violent person, but when pushed to her limits, she does go overboard. I don't know how to help her anymore, mainly because she doesn't want to be helped and repels all attempts to do so.
Because of her actions yesterday, I have to move her somewhere else, and this breaks my heart in two. I'm a very loyal daughter, and I've tried my best with her, but I can't have her attacking me in front of the kids like that. She needs professional help, and she won't get it. In the meantime, I will find someone else to give her shelter, til she's ready to be on her own. She's only 50, so getting a place/job shouldn't be difficult as long as her motivation goes in that direction.
Any energies you can send me for strength to help her and deal with her are appreciated. I'm pretty freaked out--she hasn't hit me since I was really young. And even when I was little she rarely did spank or smack me--probably can count the times on my hands really. I'm not making excuses, I just know WHY she snapped, and though it wrings my heart out to know this anger is turned toward me, I have to survive it. If that means moving her out, then so be it I guess.
I feel quite alone, even though I'm really not. I think I'm just having a lot of trouble sorting through a lot of emotions right now. I feel in some way I've let my dad and my mom down, by not being able to prevent things from getting this bad. :(
