Talk w/ mom & doc: It sounds like you're having a tough time with ur mom. Perhaps a meeting with her doc would be helpful. Depression is an illness. It is not caused by disappointment at someone's appearance. Do you feel ugly? I suspect ur not the cause of ur moms depression. At the same time, it sounds like you cld benefit from talking with someone, yourself. Reach out to ur doc or moms & feel btr!!
