Even if your mom feels it was through some fault of her own, she will understand in time. A mothers love is unconditional. My son suffers from Anxiety and Depression too (as do I), and when he told me about his own illness, I couldn’t help but think… where did I go wrong? I also thought, why was he so unlucky to get my genes? I worried he was angry with me but now I understand, we are both on our own journeys and he doesn’t blame me; yes I worried he blamed me. He’s facing his illness and we are able to talk about it together. Like any mother, I just want him to be healthy and know that he can turn to us without judgement. He can. This may open a new and better line of communication between you and your mom.
