[quote=Anonymous]I think I can help, at least a bit,

I am in my mid 30's, married and with children. I keep my mom at a distance and over the past few years have instilled more and more boundaries.

My parents always rushed in to help me-financially..or with school as a kid, or with projects, etc.  In some ways this was great, however I never really grew up. They never really let me figure things out on my own and it made them very anxious to see me fail in any way.  My mother is emotionally distant, somewhat narcissistic, and able to show empathy.  When she is angry with me, which is frequently, she pulls my sister into the arguments to fuel her side.  my sister does this agreeably.

I've stepped out because I don't want to be a part of it anymore.  My husband is for the most part friendly and respectful to my parents but does not see the need to be close to them, especially given my feelings.

I feel closer to my mom when she is able to recognize her part in the problem, this is rare if non-existent.

Your story sounded somewhat familiar to mine so I thought I would share a bit.  I'm sorry you are going through this.  [/quote]
