I'm very happy to hear that she's getting better.

But it's a really sad thing to watch a parent go through.

And I'm sorry that it's pulling focus from the life that you want to build.

Life is indeed crazy, man.

I'm also sorry that your mom struggles to take care of herself on her own.

I'm touched you guys have such a good relationship and I understand that she's not a bad person, but she is putting you guys in a very tough situation.

She's making all of this harder.

That sucks too.

I also have a strong suspicion that taking care of your family has been your role for a long time, even before buying the house.

And so thinking about taking a new stance with them just feels very strange.

The guilt you're feeling, yeah, it's partly a very normal reaction to not stepping in and saving people you love.

But I suspect it's also a symptom of rewriting an old pattern, feeling like you're ditching someone who's looked to you to save her and prop her up for a very long time.

I get that vibe.

I mean, he said it seems like there's no fight left in her.

She just goes in her room and would go to bed hungry if they weren't feeding her.

I mean, that's not a happy person.

Yeah, that basic desire to live and to live well.

Well, that's why he's worried about abandoning her.

Right.

Anything less than saving her and doing what she wants, that feels like he's fundamentally failing her, which is interesting.
