The shame is killing me. My mom, having outspent her resources over approximately the last three decades, is moving into a smaller, more humble abode, and she has this huge dog, which she cannot part with. Her new place is designed for the more geriatric crowd, and dogs aren't allowed. She told me last week she is going to ask her doctor to write a letter saying she needs the dog for her emotional well being. I told her this was pathetic, and beneath a person of her character and integrity, and the first words out of her mouth were, "I don't care. Whatever I need to do!" I have no doubt she will get this letter.
She also has taken to informing me about the various SSRIs she has tried in the last few years. Apparently she discovered she was "anxious and depressed." Ok, really, she just ran out of money. It is really embarrassing to hear her talk about this stuff.
Anyone else run into the situation where your parents dump their psychic woes on you and you really aren't sure you want to hear it??
