It was kind of funny. I went to help my mom unpack some more today. Once I was already tired, she asked me to move this super-heavy plastic bin and then wanted to empty it an replace with two smaller ones. For some reason, this just got me so upset, and I was carrying on a bit too much for a stupid box, so my mom finally said, 'hmm, why don't we take a break and discuss what's really bothering you because it's not the box.' I ended up crying and telling her how scared I was about her surgery and recovery and trying to do everything right and trying to control what she did and didn't do because I didn't know what she's capable of right now, and the stress going on at home, and the stress of a couple other things. That was really cathartic.
She also made another really good point. She said that when people are really negative or down on people or whatever it's usually not that, but that they are frustrated or worried about things in their lives that are scarier or more complex to deal with. hmm.
