[quote=Anonymous]My mom is a mental health professional and we have a number of shared professional connections (I'm trained as one but do different work). Everyone raves about how supportive and warm and nurturing she was, how capable and calm. At home, she struggled to provide emotional support, was frequently in tears, and relied on me a ton for equilibrium. She still does, in many ways. So, not toxic or abusive, but it's a very difficult line to walk, nonetheless. And because she's local, I get a LOT of "it's so great your mom is close," etc. Sigh.[/quote]
