[quote=Anonymous]Wow thank you all for your responses. And to 9:51 you have honed down the essence of what I have to do in such a way that I could never get my head around! I think I knew I would have to spell out these parameters, but I just felt so overwhelmed thinking about it. I would try to set boundaries, but then cave in and it would go all out the window. I think you've also hit the nail on the head for my mother's emotional problem- She's extremely insecure and paranoid, and I have wondered if she's got a touch of narcissism, but didn't want to accept it. Now that I have put this into words and gotten such good feedback, I feel like I can do this. My husband has been great and he tries to tell me not to worry about it, but I still end up feeling like garbage. Thank you so much for this thoughtful response with action items! I appreciate this so very much. [/quote]
