Hi lee,
My mum and I have always been so close, we are much closer than anyone I have known. I doubt if you come accross the same way to your son as your mother did to you, as you say there was no help for your mother in terms of treatment for her anxiety and feelings, things are different now, even by what you have told me it is easy to tell that you recognize your feelings, you are aware of your thoughts and feeling and you consider these things.
You said you feel guilty as a backdrop to your life, I have experienced that so much, but when you look at things in perspective, there is no need for guilt, it is obvious that you are doing your best, and you sound so caring you don't need to feel that. (Easier said than done, I know!!) I suffer with depression and a lot of guilt comes with it.
You sound like you have a fantastic relationship with your son, the way you have described your feelings to me seems exactly like what my mother was like with me, and still is!!
When she worries about me I say why are you so worried, and she usually say's 'son you will never know until you have children of your own) and I think she is right.
