> Yeah, thanks for responding, I have moved out of my parents house. I moved out after I graduated in 1998 from high school and only moved back home once...for a few weeks...I CANNOT live with my family anymore...once you move out, its pretty much a rule that you will never live with your family again because you get accustomed to your own way of living and moving back under your parents rule is extemely difficult for both you and them. The relationship that my mom and I have is very hard and I can talk to my dad about it but, he is in a hard place because although he understands my frustration and my depression and anxiety issues, he is still needing to support my mom as well and it isnt fair for him to take a side..so it gets hard at times. My sister and I have talked but, she and I are completely different and she is more on my moms side of thinking than I am and so I cannot talk to her much. My therapist wants me to consider family therapy with my mom..(my therapist is a LMFT and although she just sees me ..she would be willing to see my mom and I yet, my mom doesnt want to and I am to scared to try it. My mom has something against therapist and cannot stand mine even though she hasnt met her. I like my therapist better than my mom right now because she completely understands me...I dont think that my relationship with my mom will never be any better...and im starting to become ok with that...even though it depresses me.
