Moving on and being content with decisions regarding me

Hello to everyone. It has been a while. I wanted to update you about the matters regarding my mother as she was staying with me for a while. Though I am on HUD subsidized housing, I needed her to be out. How this pertains is that her being with me took a toll on me mentally while she was here. Since I have earned my freedom to live on my own, I did not want to jeopardize my status with my housing so I had to set her loose as of yesterday officially. It was very bitter and somber for me to do so, I just needed to move on with my life and not let this decision ruin me. So in the end, I wanted to save my well being so I could do what I do best. I am grateful that I could tell everyone my feeling about what goes on with me so as far as all of you, I hope all of you are doing well yourselves. I wish all of you a safe and happy Halloween 🎃 and always be good to yourself as always 👍

Hi there. I’m new around here so I had to read your prior postings to see what you’ve been dealing with fully. I’m so sorry that you found yourself in this position, I can imagine the turmoil you feel having to send your mom loose. It was a difficult decision I’m sure but I understand why you had to do it. Really sucks that the rules of the subsidized housing are that strict. I do understand the need for the rules but it’s unfortunate that a desperate situation had to result in this.

I hope all works out for you and your mom.

Hey Broken9902: it was indeed a tough decision yet I know in the long run it will be beneficial as I am ready to rebuild and make up for the lost time I sacrificed and know that I am still a good person.

Wanted to tell you I admire you standing up for yourself, you have that right, Mother's do not have the right to expect things from us as adults, you did your best to help her, now she needs to help herself. My Mother was good at expectations and guilt trips which I bought into for decades, we had an abusive father, so I thought the sun rose and set around my Mother, then I finally woke up thanks to therapy. I still love her, even though she has been dead 10 years, but I had a right to my own life as do you. So go ahead with what you have to do. I support you and send your strength, peace, love and Big hugs.....Sprinkle 1....
