[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - good advice from both. Thanks so much. Anxiety sounds right -[b] she is very anxious.[/b] I need to find a way to acknowledge it without opening the floodgates to all of her anxieties about me and my son, which I find very overwhelming and debilitating. So I will try to say something sympathetic...[/quote] My mother runs anxious, and sometimes I have to be rather blunt with her. I tell her straight out that I am done talking about x, and if she is worrying that much about x, she needs to talk with a therapist about it, not me. I remind her that there is treatment for anxiety, and that certain things don't need to cause her as much stress and suffering as they do. Don't be your mom's therapist about your son's issues--and be clear about it. [/quote]
