Going Home

I'm going back to my old house tonight. There is nothing but memories that last time I was there I was curled up in a ball crying. I can't handle being there. The only reason i'm doing this is I don't want my mom to spend the night alone there. She gets depressed and I worry.
I knew there was no heat and I just found out that the water got shut off and I can't help her with it till the 16th. I feel like since I haven't seen her much I should be there now.
So many memories..having to face our old room. I'm scared.

 

Its truly noble that you are being strong for your mom and getting outside yourself for a good reason.

I dunno, in this 12 Step thing they talk about being in service. What you're doing right now sounds like the definition of 'service'.

I admire your willingness to face emotions and painful memories/thoughts in order to be there for someone even though you're scared shitless.

You sound like a really good daughter. :D
