Mom died years ago; why is her birthday hell?
Mom's been gone a long time. Every year on her birthday I fall apart. I get so deep down dark depressed that I can't do anything. I try sleep and have nightmares. Then I start obsessing about my rotten father, which it was all Mom's fault she married him. Mom was my best friend. Why do I go through this every year?
