[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry your mother treats you so badly. Yes, your therapists are right. You should cut her off. A DCUM thread where posters unanimously urge you to let go of your relationship with your mother isn't going to help you do what you already know you need to do. The problem here is that you know (cognitively) you need to cut her off, but you don't believe (emotionally) that you should. Put another way, your emotional understanding hasn't caught up to your cognitive grasp of the facts. You're still stuck in the beliefs and and mindset that helped you make it through a terrible childhood. That mindset is undermining you now. Until you get more perspective on yourself and your relationship with this destructive force who's your mother, you're going to continue to undermine your current relationships as a wife, mother, friend, etc.[/quote]
