[quote=Anonymous]Quite a while ago I posed about my overbearing and critical mother. You all advised me that I should just share less, I can’t have the relationship with her that I want, and that based on what I told you she’s likely depressed and anxious (she is, has been diagnosed) and it’s best she not know, and that’s what I’ve done. Most of the time it’s boring minutiae and she doesn’t even know what she’s missing, and sometimes it’s big stuff. She just discovered a “big” thing I kept from her (nothing life threatening or uprooting, just something a little expensive we decided to do (after Christmas vacation) that I would have normally discussed with her in conversation.) It was so awkward, and now she’s being weird and won’t speak to me as often as she was, which was like daily, or at least she’d try.

When she found out she was flabbergasted at first, really shocked I didn’t tell her upfront, but still got in a couple small digs ;) So why do I feel so bad? I know I saved myself months of borrowed trouble and hard time by not disclosing, but it still feels awful. Why? Tell me I did the right thing![/quote]
