Regret inviting my mom to live with me

She was unsafe where she was living (it was a low income neighborhood. She lived by herself and worked. She’s past retirement so I offered her room in my home and my husband agreed. She has now retired.

I can tell she’s depressed and she calls my estranged sister and my brother in law a lot (the one that doesn’t want her to live with them) yesterday she sent pics of our group picture (my husband, baby and i) on our picnic to my estranged sister and brother in laws group chat and said she missed them. She also told me my husband had a come up on his career and I had a come down. Yes i sacrificed a lot for my husband’s success but he has since then taken care of me financially so i can focus on our baby.

My sister refuses to have people live with her so i just felt this responsibility when my dad passed to take in my mom. I thought we would become closer and be best friends and heal some trauma. To be fair my mom is open to having honest conversations but i feel like I have to tell her everyday to be mindful of the things she does or says to make our home feel like a safe environment. I don’t want to feel this regret and building resentment towards her.

The Hotel Art Scared Us

Currently at a hotel and my husband was like “idk these things have black eyes and are creepy” then I opened Reddit and saw someone post this video of her. We had a laugh.

They stay friends with enablers

I held them accountable once and they cut me off but they’re still friends with people they have always complained about not being good friends to them or people who take advantage of them for money or sex. Can anyone relate?

Share your taper story

Hi everyone I was on 50mg for a few weeks but
Eventually 25mg for 7 months. I understand that’s a low dose and am running out of meds and no longer have insurance so I decided a week ago to do a short taper to 12.5mg and to nothing this week. I do feel agitated, dull headache and anxious thoughts are resurfacing. How long do the withdrawal symptoms last for you? I understand everyone’s different but hearing everyone’s experience helps me.

For about a year I kept getting signs to move to this location and even won a trip to this state. I fell in love with it and found so much peace and grounding.. well an opportunity was offered for me to make the move and I took it. I couldn’t be happier I am

Healthier and so much more at peace living here… well..

My house back in my old state hasn’t sold. It’s been a year. I am paying a mortgage and a lease… I have done so many repairs and updates. Price cuts. Nothing is budging and now my dreams of staying in my peaceful place seem unattainable and I might have to move back to make ends meet. I am working two jobs to fight for my dream life..

I have detached, prayed, journaled, meditated and have faith. Financially I don’t know what to do. With the resistance I’m being met with, I don’t know what is the answer. Anyone can offer some guidance will be much appreciated. The full moon is keeping me up tonight with a sudden wave of worry.
