Hi,

I don't know if I have depression or what, but everything seems to be going wrong with me. My problem is: My mother has relied on all of her family to take her in and be her driver, landlord, and sole supporter for the last 10 years since my stepfather has passed away. I have tried everything to get her to be more independent, but I haven't had any luck. Recently my wife and I drove my mother to senior living facilities (not the assisited living kind, but the ones where the government subsidizes). After seeng all of them we decided to go get lunch and fill out the paperwork to apply. While at the table, she was filling out the paperwork and started to get upset because she was depressed about not seeing her grandchild anymore. I don't know what she is going through, but I think that she is becoming too dependent on others to be there for her. Don't get me wrong, but I gave up 3 years of my bachelor life to care for her and be there for her. I have finally found the woman of my dreams and thankfully I have been married to her for the past 6 years, but I feel that having my mother move in with us would ruin the beautiful things we have together. Am I being to hasty to assume that I am a bad son for not accepting her to live with me again?
