bumper, sorry you've argued with your mum again, but it's nice that she has apologised. I'm sure she just cares about you and wants to make sure that you're OK. FWIW, I second her opinion about chatting things through with the MH nurse or your GP before you give up on the ADs. You've been taking them for a few weeks, so it's likely that they have made you feel better about things. I made the mistake of doing that when I first took them for PND after having DS; stopped them as I felt better.....then I felt worse and had to take them again, then I stopped again......five years on I'm still trying to get my head together.
It could be that ADs aren't the thing for you thugh, but you should look at getting some sessions with the MH nurse to talk things through, rather than just going cold turkey on the ADs.
My mum and dad have thankfully been content to let us all go our own way in the world without too much criticism...hopefully that means they were confident that their well rounded children would happily find their own way in life without any guidance from them rather than they couldn't care less. I have had some huge arguments with my Dad in the past though...it's not nice.
and likewise, don't get me started on inlaws. Mine bangs on about how they are strangers to DD, but yet they never invite us over, and when we do invite them over here or phone to say we're going to pop in, they always have something else arranged or it's such a palaver to rearrange their schedule and we have to feel eternally grateful.....then there's her judginess on the state of my house...nothing said, but lots of raised eyebrows and veiled comments...and if she says once more "is she on a bottle yet?" or "you just don't know how much she's getting", I'm going to take a bottle and ram it down her throat to shut her up
