A GON Reader Asks

Hi Maria,

I like reading your posts. They are very useful. So thanks a lot for such nice, practical tips. I don't know if you can give me a tip on this: what's a mother to do when her grown daughters are trying to declare that mom is crazy and unfit? And insist mom go on meds? And these daughters have no medical background. They are not mental health professionals, nor licensed to practice such things.

And mom is the one that raised her girls as a single mom without any help and support system. She doted on her girls like nothing else mattered. And the daughters not only abandoned mom like used unwanted goods but telling lies about their mom too? How do you organize your life after such callous, and cold- blooded events?

You give advice on so many topics. Hope you can give one on this too. Any advice would be helpful.

Dear Hurting Mom,

I'm so sorry you're going through these family challenges and that you're hurting. Reading your note was heartbreaking.

People see things from many different sides and perspectives. They feel what they feel and do what they do for a variety of reasons...good and bad. Sometimes people say things because they truly feel, in their heart of hearts, that they're helping by doing so. Other times they say things for their own benefit, not taking any facts into account. I'm not sure what events have transpired to get to this point, but it's pretty clear that it's resulting in emotional turmoil.

I will say this. Feeling the way you do is a true mental burden on you that could greatly affect your physical and emotional health. Here's what I suggest:

1) Don't keep all of this to yourself. Even if you completely disagree with what your daughters are saying about you, I recommend you talk to someone (a family counselor) about your hurt feelings and what events have led up to those feelings. In some cases, it may be suggested that you extricate yourself from anyone in your life who isn't helping you live a happy, peaceful existence...even blood-relatives in many cases. Sometimes he/she will suggest you receive personal emotional therapy based on his or her findings. In some situations, he/she may suggest family counseling (with your daughters if they are willing) to help you mend fences. Working with someone who is trained in this area may be able to help you begin the road to healing some of these emotional wounds.

2) Get spiritual. Whether you're a religious person or not, doing something on a daily basis that will relieve stress and lift your spirits can help. One day you might go to a service at a church you enjoy, the next day you might do some Yoga, the next day you might journal your feelings, the next day you might sit quietly on your porch and do nothing more than think about things you're grateful for, etc. Try to come up with a 7-day-a-week ritual (30 minutes to an hour a day just for you) and make getting 'spiritual' a daily goal you never miss.

3) Keep busy. The busier you are, the less time you'll have to sit around allowing these bad feelings to fester. Do you work at a job? Do you spend any time helping others, like volunteering at the library or a soup kitchen? Can you help an elderly neighbor grocery shop or keep her company? Do lots of 'positive' things in your daily life to help fill your hands and heart with joy.

Hugs...I can't imagine your pain and I hope the next time I hear from you, that things are more peaceful.
