In a very tough stretch. I’m perimenopausal and feel like all the emotion and anger I’ve stifled throughout my life are bubbling up and at times erupting.

Even though I’m making a bit of professional progress after years of health problems feel disappointed a lot of the time knowing I have so many limitations (including financial). I dream of a more full life, and of having a love.

Meanwhile I live with my aging mother, who has chosen this time in my life to smother me. She feels like she’s making up for lost time, but we bicker a lot because it’s so foreign to me. I resent the previous years of disinterest on her part now thw rxpectation tbat we should be buddies. Plus she puts her foot in her mouth a lot and it hurts my feelings. I love her so much and I would have very little without her. I am kind of stuck and feel guilty having beef with her.
