The Guinea Pig Dream
I had the weirdest dream last night … about a guinea pig!
My husband had just gotten home from work, and I’d announced that we had a new “friend” in the house. I was in my pajamas, and hubby was in his nice blue/white striped shirt and slacks - his work clothes. The new “friend” was a little white guinea pig …

Wow! That really struck me. Well, I’m kind of stuck in a box. LOL and I love you like a friend/father/sister(not brother, brothers I don’t like LOL), and I’ll admit, I’m pretty cute(as much as a g.p.). LOL Just a thought. LOL.
I can understand your situation with your mother. My mother has some mental problems as well. She has bi-polar and something else I can’t give a word too, but like your mother, my mother questions my love for her alot. She is in a home now, but she calls me a lot and she’s basically wanting me to take care of her too. She wants me to take responsibility for her. And like you, with plans to move to another place, find friends, get a job, and a cat: I really don’t want that responsibility. Do you have any advice on how to handle this kind of thing, since you are kind of in the same boat?
Sure WhistleStop, I have a bit of advice. It might not be what you want to hear, but the best thing you could possibly do for yourself is to DISCONNECT.
Granted, she’s your Mom, and if you feel responsible, then go for it. But I’m warning you: I felt responsible, and it took years away from my life. I could’ve been a rich and famous painter or comic book artist as a graduate from Chicago School of the Arts (on a full grant), but I had to turn that down for Mom.
DISCONNECT. And take of YOUR life - she created where she’s at, just like you have created where you’re at.
When I DISCONNECTED, I made it a point to STAY OUT of Mom’s life, and tell her to make her own decisions, regardless of whether or not she asked me for advice.
Guess what? WE’RE BOTH BETTER OFF!
Maybe you’re right. Maybe I should Dicsonnect from her life. After all I disconnected completely from my father and ever since I’ve had a better life than I was. Maybe it’s time to let them both go. I mean I’m leaving them physically along with this town and all the people in it, to go for the life I want, it’s kind of inevitable that I’m going to *disconnect* from all of them anyway when I’m gone and loving my new life. So maybe I should just make it easier for all of them now and just *let go*. I mean, I could always send postcards ;-). I can see it now: Hello From Louisville: Hi everyone. I’m loving my life and I couldn’t be more happy. If only you could see what an amazing physcial experience I am having in this glorious physical body! Have nice lives everyone, and focus on the good.
Love, [whistlestopcafe1991] LOL
P.S. Did you see Little Nicky last night? LOL Oh my effin source energy, it was funny! It was just what I needed to see after my negative experience.
