I believe I may have an unhealthy psychic connection of some kind to my mother. She is a very troubled woman, and I can feel her emotions so well it brings me down. I have anxiety attacks at the same times she does, I get depressed the same times she does...

Last night I became acutely aware of this because I started to feel dizzy, and somehow I knew it was her. I called her, and sure enough, she was crying. "I thought something was wrong," I said, and I knew not to press her, so I let her go. I was speaking to a friend, one of the few who know about my psychic abilities, and told him the emotions I was getting off my mother. I felt that she was closing everyone and everything off, so lost in her own inner turmoil, and that I couldn't even really send good energy her way because in a way, it would just bounce off the barrier she put up, knowingly or not.

Sure enough, she called me a couple of hours later. She was crying again. She told me she would be leaving for a week to go into the mountains (she lives in Colorado), with no cell phone and no contact with her family whatsoever. Her behavior was very mysterious...she was running from something, and my intuition told me it has to do with her past in some way.

I have been depressed and crying off and on ever since. I can't seem to break free from her emotions. I feel them acutely, and it's hard for me to know what to do about it. She is, after all, my mother... I know I don't want to have an unhealthy attachment like this, but I also don't want to break off all emotion whatsoever. I really don't know what to do.

I keep seeing something from the 70's, and I can't really see it clearly, but it carries a lot of pain and is close to home for her. I can see the styles of clothing and the colors of the 70's, and I can hear "70's" too...I just don't know what it is. I feel this has something to do with the present. Something is driving her into those mountains, and it's not what she told me over the phone...

I also have a strange feeling, almost as if she's dying or something. Like I'm mourning for her death without her actually being dead. It's the strangest feeling...and it frightens me. I hope she doesn't do something terrible while she's up in the mountains.

Please help, spiritualblessing! I've got so much pain of my own, I really CANNOT handle this extra baggage from my troubled mother!! But I don't know what to do about it!
