[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sorry you’re going through all this. Your mom has anxiety but you cannot manage it for her. She is terrified and wants you to reassure her, but you can’t. Let go of the idea that you will find the words to make her understand and she will change. That won’t happen. I wonder if you can stop texting - which can go back and forth forever and instead agree to a 2x a week call for 15 minutes that is over and done?[/quote] This is OP. The folks saying I need to let go of “helping her understand” are right. That’s helpful. I haven’t let go yet, but I know I need to! I will think about switching to phone calls. I moved us to texting because I preferred that. She is super critical, which is harder to deal with over the phone. And if I need to ignore a barrage of questions for a while, I can by text. It’s all harder over the phone.[/quote]
