I don't see it as maintaining the status quo. I see it as preventing my Mom from worrying about me. I have no doubt that she will freak out in a major way if she found out I went to Toronto all by myself to meet a bunch of people I've only met online, who have mental health problems.
I don't like to tell my Mom a lot of things for fear of worrying her. When I was in high school and the school called my parents because they were worried I might kill myself, my Mom was really shaken up. She usually has trouble sleeping, but she had even more trouble sleeping then, all because of me.
I don't want to worry my Mom. She already worries a lot. She calls me almost everyday from work. She bought me a cell phone and now she can reach me anywhere I am.
I admit my Mom and I have lots of communication problems. I don't tell her when I'm not doing well. I don't want to worry her. My pdoc said I should tell my Mom, but I don't think it's a good idea, even though if it were my daughter I would want to know. It doesn't make sense, I realize that. LOL
Anyways, I can't worry my Mom any more than I already do.
