I spend a lot of time hiding in my room to get away from my mother. Dear me. I had to do that a lot when I was ten, but the thought of having to do it at my current age makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I take it this is not a situation where you can simply sit down and say, "Mom, please move out within thirty days, here's your apartment. Please don't take this wrongly, but if you stay here another six months I will most likely kill you and this would probably not work out well for either of us."

Would I be overstepping if I asked just why your mom lives with you? As much as I loved my mom, that would have been intolerable. Thomas may have been kidding---but I really think setting a deadline might be necessary! Unless you really owe her money or something. That might get weird. Dan's sweet mother wrote the loveliest note to me once, saying that if in the future she got OBS and wanted to live with us, that I should put her in a home and not think twice about it and not let Dan get all guilty. ANd if we felt guilty we were to read that note forbidding us to take in either one of them. I filed it with their Power of Attorney and it really is so reassuring. I think it was one of the most beautiful gifts she could have given. Of course, her parents lived well into their 90s-so she probably plans to outlive me anyway.
