Erin,
You're such a good daughter. I know it must be really hard and you're not made of stone, but you never sound really angry at your Mom, but know she has become what she is, but is still your Mom, how confusing! As a Mom who has had to have her teen-age daughter pick me up off the floor and my biggest fear is she'll resent me and she never does and that brings tears to my eyes and she tells me and I know she's always got my back, yet she treats me appropriately at other times and rolls her eyes and does her "Oh, Mom". Anyway, thanks to all you daughters to your Moms.
