Dear norit:

You wrote that you “feel very guilty and think mum will get worse if I leave”- and yet, you got worse. You are back where you were 12 months ago, stuck. And on top of it, you wrote that your mother’s addictions are getting worse.

Your plan has been basically to stay home with your parents so that your mother doesn’t get worse. The results of the plans are two:

1. You got worse.
2. Your mother got worse.

No wonder you lost your drive and you feel quite hopeless- this plan achieved just that and continues to achieve the same. Need a different plan, norit. Need a plan that will achieve a different result.

About the different plan…?
