I find myself numb to her issues. On the days I'm with her, I feel angry and then later I feel awful, growing up I was a confidante, listening to her anxieties. I realise she is quite a negative person, as well as being depressed.
Growing up I felt extremely protective of Mum and angry at the world for her awful treatment. I sometimes feel guilty for being happy. My world view has been shaped by hers.
You know you are an adult and yet your mother still has such an influence over you that you can feel like a child when you are with her. You may resent that.
