My Mom fought me

And my Mom won. There’s not much life to me.

are you ok @PinCushion ? what did you fight about ?
Is your mom ok ?
why did you both fight ?

My Mom died in '98. She still has a hold of my right arm preventing me from making a move on my own.

hmm. I think you need reassurance at this point.
I’m not very good at that but here I go.

Since your mom passed away I see your feeling like your held back, but to be honest your not being held your being directed by your mother memory. Which can be a good and a bad thing . If you let your fearful side drive you with her in your heart ( holding your right arm) you could never see positive results of things that can be good. On another note if you take a positive stance and her holding you stop you from accomplishing what is positive then you need to find away to let her grasp fall away.

The pressure on my arm is a recent discovery. I’m sure its effects will fade now.

Do you have a blood pressure cuff ? It could be stress related high blood pressure . You should get check out at an E.R or your next Medical doctor appointment if it more than 24hr of pain in your arm.

do you have any other symptoms ?

My blood pressure is seldom high. The tension does not show pain as I went numb to it. Other symptoms include learning to feel pain and I am getting arthritis and headache pains now.

I think then you need to try to relax yourself a bit maybe take a nap and clear your mind to try to pull thru this tough time your having. Then get check up with p’doc and med’doc as well to make sure your physically doing ok or if you need any help med wish or p’doc wise.

Thanks for the sound advice. I am planning to request a med change at my next appt.
And, I do take naps. A lot of it is the hustle and bustle of the house functioning and the fact that I am just plain getting old.

I miss my mom, @PinCushion. In just three days she will have been gone for nine years. We had a turbulent relationship at times, and she had many mental issues that she never addressed, but I miss her. She doesn’t really visit me at all. She’s just gone.
Amazing, the power of a mother.

I think my Mom and I would have gotten along better, at least more realistically, if my Dad hadn’t been so power hungry. He was a big bear in the closet.

So she suffered too? I’m sorry, @PinCushion. I wish you and your mom had it to do over again.
The more I think about who my mom was and all she went through in her life, the more I forgive her.
