No; shes a great mum...much more patient than me. She generally gets through life fine, but I also get the impression she struggles with motivation etc similar to me. She has said in the past that she's probably had undiagnosed depression. But last I asked she felt 'fine'...which of course is most likely to mean not fine, in my experience.
I guess the reason why I'm daunted by anything happening is that she bottles stuff up and withdraws and goes quiet when bad things happen. She didn't talk to her parents for a year after they mentioned selling their house - just 'couldnt face it'. I mean, all she needed to say was 'please don't do that; I really need this house as my safe place and I don't know where I'd go if I couldnt go there'. But instead it was zero communication for a year. She's normally very rational though, which is something I really like about her!
