That makes me so sad for her, and for you as her son to see her suffer and cry. It is a myth that health is happiness or pain is punishment.

What my parents did to me would today have put them in jail for life. Violent people, cruel and mean. All genius. All nuts. I fight it hard.

My mother too. Multiple personality disorders, narcissism and paranoia most prevalent. Sadly, there's a very sweet person down deep. Damage.

Shame, pain, mine wasn't noticeable until later physically. I got it on the behavioral end - bad girl for hyperactivity, hyperverbosity.

I still have it, maybe even worse as an adult! It causes social problems for me, which leave me sad if I can't repair them.
