[quote=Anonymous]Boundaries and follow through with them, as a PP suggested. I/m not a therapist but this has worked for others. If your therapist agrees, you may want to try something like the approach below... Start with the following communication - Mom, I love you. I am taking a break from communications for a few months to deal with an urgent need. I will be in touch directly once a month by (text, email, phone). Direct her emails to a separate folder and block her texts during this time - do not engage, do not read them. Initiate contact as per the schedule you stated with her and engage only for a set period of time. Then sign off - Mom, I love you. I have to go and will talk to you next month. See how this makes you feel and if the boundaries improve your relationship with yourself, your family as well as with your Mom. Again, if you and your therapist agree a boundary-setting exercise in some measure may be helpful.[/quote]
