I think for the sake of your own sanity, you need to have a sit down with your mom and say you have to be who are you. It's not fair for you to keep hiding yourself because your mom cannot deal.

And promises made ages ago under different times really don't hold. It's one thing not to dress as yourself at your mom's house. But now that means you can't dress as yourself *anywhere*. That promise is also causing you to have a slow, painful death so I think that renders it null and void right there.

I don't know how much you have researched into social services and the local council on aging to get your mom some help. There should be services for her to help you out. You should not have to do this all by yourself. Even if you could get weekends free, that would be a help. She is your mom but you deserve a life too.

I hope your trip to Cyprus goes well and you can get some Glenn time alone out there. It sounds like a lovely place and I hope you find some family support as well. *hugs* hun. You're an awesome person and I've always admired your sense of style and shapely legs. :)
