Workaholic mother?

Question

I have a woraholic mother who never have time to herself and her family. For her bussiness are the most important thing. She is always depressed and with bad temper. help!

Answer 1

If you can't talk to your mother about your feelings either send her a letter or an e-mail.

Tell her how sad her working so much makes you and that her depression also makes you feel sad.

Talk to your dad about this and maybe as a family you can have a sort of intervention.

Answer 2

I'm sorry for what you are going though. Sometimes I think parents try so hard to provide the best life they can for their children and they forget the important things like spending time. I wonder myself if I did the right thing. I took a part time job so I could be there for my children but they didn't have the all the top of the line clothes & shoes and sometimes money was tight. I hope that I did the right thing so maybe your Mom don't have a choice right now. Talk to her and ask if maybe you both could spend some time together, if nothing else just a TV night or take a walk. Let her know how you feel but try not to make her feel guilty, it might be she is doing all she can right now. God bless you and I'll say a prayer for you. Love ya.

Answer 3

Ask mom if she is wiling to do a real life taping of a busy life and you tape it and you tell her how you feel on the video. Some people do not know what they are doing unless they see themselves. There are people who can go a long time and get stuck in a mind warp. Make sure you tape depressing moment and tempers. Let her know hwo she hurts you and other family members becuse she is not taking care of herself physically and mentally.

Ask moms what would she do if one of the kids or if any of you died would she miss not spending time with you would she regret not doing things and spending family time with you.
Pray for you moms. Maybe spending and hour on Sunday mornings at your local chruch and have just your family picnics at the park after service. This way you will not only have a family day but you will also add a tradition to your family.

Answer 4

People work hard so they have good and timely meals, goodnight sleep and can enjoy the family.

Your mother is lacking all of the above.

Ask her some day..." mom what are you working so hard for"?

If she says for her future...tell her she does not have present, what is she worried about her future?

If she says she is working hard for you.....tell her she does not have time for you right now, why does she believe you will be around in future?

Hopefully she will wake up.

Good Luck.
