Hi,

I'm new here. To be honest, I really never intended to post. I thought if I read about others, it would somehow make me feel better. Of course, that hasn't happened. I am compelled to right tonight because of my daughter. I have a 'thing' with the laundry (story for another time). Anyway, my daughter does the laundry, but today she went out shopping for Christmas. It was late when she returned and the laundry still needed doing. She asked me a question, "Ma, when you saw it was getting late, why didn't you do the laundry?" A simple, direct question. I immediately became angry. I guess I thought about it. I am still angry about it. Not because of my daughter, but because of what she made me realize. I'm afraid to go to the laundry room. At this moment, I don't remember why or what makes me afraid. But the fear is intense. . .edging toward panic. Just thinking about going to the laundry room makes me shake.

Just needed to vent. . .
