[quote=Anonymous]Another thing to consider, she never learned to identify and talk about her emotions and stress. She probably learned it's weak to share it. She is too emotionally immature to handle your honesty. I learned that with my mom. So I am robotic. I simply talk about how busy I am without the feelings.

One funny and deranged story...when I told my mom how draining I found her complaining about dad and dealing with all her anger in general and how I had many stressors going on and needed to focus on those, she said I was a "fragile flower" and should get some therapy. I told her I was getting therapy and she procedure to co0mpletely lose her mind with anxiety and rage asking me what I said about her and telling me I better not talk about her and then saying she needs the number of this therapist to tell her side. Then she said how stupid therapists are only losers see them. I said nothing. I just watched her completely lose her mind in front on me...she the woman who said I have the issues. I calmly watched and listened. She ended with a tantrum that she must talk to this therapist to defend herself. Keep in mind, not once did I say I mentioned her in therapy. Can you imagine?

My daughter once requested therapy to deal with friendship dramas, etc and I said sure. I then joked and said I am sure my parenting has given you plenty to talk about so I assume this will be a multi year commitment. We both laughed.[/quote]
