DEAR AMY: My mom and I have had a bumpy relationship ever since my parents got divorced about 10 years ago.
She indirectly blames me for her loneliness, even though my husband and I have offered to help her move closer to us . I love my mom, but I hate that she always jumps to conclusions and blames me for avoiding her, when really I’m just busy chasing my 2-year-old, heavily pregnant, and not feeling well.– Stressed Out Daughter
Your mother sounds depressed, but my main concern is for you. This is an extremely important and stressful time in your life, and you should prioritize your own mental and physical health – and that of your children.
