[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s abuse, and it’s bull. It’s horribly irresponsible and emotionally immature. No one is perfect but that doesn’t mean you can’t work to be a better person and love those you care about in a more empowering way.[/quote]

You are speaking as someone who it sounds like is well versed in psychology and who has either done therapy or has read a lot of self-help books. OP is talking about someone who is either part of the silent generation (pun intended) or baby boomers. Unless she was from an affluent family, I highly doubt she got any therapy and the stigma was huge for some of those folks. OP's mother isn't going to therapy any time soon and her way of coping while possibly immature (we don't know her side) isn't harming OP, unless OP lets it harm her. You cannot expect that generation to magically acquire all the tools and use the right lingo unless they want to. Just meet her where she is and accept that this is her coping style, even if it offends you.[/quote]
