[QUOTE="Overwhelmed1, post: 755454, member: 24921"] Across The Pond, thank you for your response. I did go to a counselor many years ago when my mom and I had a disagreement. Well it wasn't really a disagreement, she blamed me for something that I didn't even knew happened. It really didn't help. The counselor wanted to go way back to my childhood and pull our things he felt I had put way back in my mind and wouldn't let surface. I went another time when my dad said it was my fault my younger sister was locked in the bathroom threatening to kill herself. I was a mother at this time and wasn't even living there. I didn't have a clue why she was doing this. I did gather up my two kids and went to my mom and dad's to talk to her because they (mom and dad) had to go to work. We later, much later found out she was bipolar. All my family lived close but I was the only one called. I again went to a counselor and was again told I need to be opened about what happened to me when I was younger. I don't remember anything happening. I guess I tried two or three more times to get professional help but I never got out of it what I expected. And I really don't know what I did expect. I had a great relationship with both my kids until they started highschool. Then the drinking and drugs started. It was a long journey for all three of us. Neither of them are using or drinking any more, but they are completely dependent on me. I really do think the Drugs and alcohol kept them in the mind set of a teen. I don't know if that is fixable. As far as my family, I know if I call they will talk to me but I always feel it's because they have to. I would not hear back from them unless I call. It's been years since I have called. Sorry for the book. [/QUOTE]
