[quote=Anonymous]Hello! I’m new here! So I have a VERY overbearing mother. She has always been very manipulative and emotionally draining my entire life. I have struggled to set boundaries because the times that I have, she decided we “won’t have a relationship then.” So I have just tried to keep the peace even when she’s overstepping.

My ideal relationship with my mom would be a phone call/text here and there.. 3 times a week if that? I don’t know. She calls me EVERY DAY. So I just don’t answer because I have a newborn (FTM) and the times I can call are the 15 min I have to myself to listen to music or just hear the silence. I also forget she called. So into the next day she will call again.. and again.. and again.. sometimes 5 times back to back. With a “hello??” Text. Honestly it makes me want to shut my phone off for the rest of the day. Then when I finally do answer I have to hear it... “I was so worried. You can at least text me back. You would answer if your bf called.”

How do I handle this? Should I be responding to her phone calls/texts every time out of respect? Am I being a “brat?” (Her words not mine). Please help![/quote]
