Wait a minute! I'm an only child but I could swear you were talking about my mom in this paragraph:
"My mother is more likely to tell me that the world is coming to an end, that everything is unfair, that everyone is against us, that my dad is a monster who eats small children for hreakfast (no, they aren't divorced), and that it's her and me against the world. But she did tell me that I could do anything, and in fact expected me to. :))"
I just started posting this week, on the Lexapro thread, but I never thought I would read something that sounded so similar to my mother so I had to comment. Oh yeah, and my parents aren't divorced either - but they should have been. And her mantra was "get a good education and a good job so you don't have to put up with some *&%$ all your life."
In all fairness to my mother (you know, the protective "guilt" thing kicks into gear about now), she is much better since she's been on Paxil. It's like medically diluting her ire by about 50%.
Oh no, I better flee - I just let a skeleton out of the closet, albeit anonymously ;-)
