finally told my mom that I don't want to speak to her if she can't be supportive of me instead of taking advantage of my emotional labor and trying to make me feel guilty about things. I don't exactly feel better, but at least now I can feel anxious about my own problems in peace.
@noxy I'm in a similar boat where I had to cut off contact with my mom..and essentially most of my family. You saying you don't feel better, but that it's one less problem to worry about, are my sentiments exactly..
@Filene Glad to know I'm not the only one ❤️ It can be very painful sometimes, particularly around people whose parents are warm and help them with all sorts of things. They tend not to understand how I could dare stop speaking to my mother, nor why I would do so when I already feel like I have no support system.
