[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"This happened 40 years ago. I won't listen to you talk about it anymore. If we're on the phone I'm going to hang up; if we're in person I'm going to walk away. It happened FOUR DECADES ago. You MUST retire these issues at least with me. If you still need to process them I would be fine with helping you find a qualified therapist to help you move past them. I love you but can't listen to things that happened 40 years ago. You have a decision to make." And then I'd stick to those boundaries.[/quote] I see this type of advice a lot OP, but if your mom is anything like mine she will explode with rage at this. i find a more subtle approach worked better for me. This was too direct for her crazy. [/quote]
