    Anita,

    I really like the idea of how being on a airplane you need to take care of yourself, otherwise, you can’t be there for other people. I know my mom will be strong and that we will get through this difficult time together. I hope I can focus on doing what is right for me and know that it doesn’t make me selfish. Thank you for your advice and support. It means a lot.

    Pam – thank you so much for the words of encouragement 🙂 I know it will help my mom if I take care of myself first and I know she does not want me to worry so much about her. I am seeing a therapist right now who is helping me with my depression. I just need to remind myself to take one day at a time and know it’ll be okay

    Inky – Yes! School is definitely very important right now. And to reassure you I am an accounting major (that switched from history) that will be going to grad school next year. And we are looking to move one day to a better location. So I know I need to keep in mind that although I can’t help financially now, all of this will pay off in the future. I just need to be patient and know it will work out for the best

    Thank you everyone for your comments. You have been a big help! I just needed someplace to vent i think and get positive advice. Your kids are all very lucky to have you in their lives. I hope you all have a good day!

    Anita,
    My mom and I are very close, so yes I talk to her everyday. She simply is just frustrated by having to learn another job all over again when before she knew her job perfectly. She said the lack of independence is awful for her too. She used to have her own office and dictate her schedule. Now she is in a big room with over 20 other people and a supervisor that monitors every phone call and computer. It’s definitely a big change for her so quickly and I try to tell her that she needs to be patient. She just started this job so it’s going to take time for her to adjust. She definitely tries to be optimistic but at times just says that she doubts she will ever be comfortable in her new position. I hope in a few months it will be better once all the initial chaos is over. I try to help her look on the bright side but even for me it’s difficult. Thanks for your questions!
