[quote=Anonymous]Oh OP. You might need therapy to deal with this revelation. My mother did something similar, except I saw it happening over the years, and she never completely cut off contact with relatives. They would invite me, and she would say no on my behalf. She has a chronic illness, and used her handicap to guilt me out of seeing my friends or having family get-togethers. It backfired, though, because as soon as I could get a grad school stipend, I hopped the pond and came to the US! :-) I don't know if she ever realized that forced social isolation made her child build an entirely new life on a different continent. Enjoy the reunions.[/quote]
