LHM- You are doing a selfless and beautiful thing by caring for your mother. Even if you refuse to acknowledge it. She needs you, and you are there. As angry as it may make you now, when she is gone, you will be glad you were there to comfort her.
It makes me sad to hear you say you've given up on your dreams...that's the best way to make sure they never come true.
You deserve happiness and love and freedom, and you can't give up on that.
I really think that if you don't believe that you are worthy of good things in life, they just won't come to you.
You are incredibly strong, by the way.
