[quote=Anonymous]Ok sounds like my mom.  Any slight she felt (whether justifiable or not ) was met with a massive overreaction.  A friend doesn't agree with her?  She cuts them off.  When I couldnt make it to my brother's bday dinner because of work, she didn't talk to me for 2 weeks.  Even though my brother had told her we had arranged another time to get together.

Needless to say, while I have very happy memories of my childhood, I also spent it walking on egg shells.  I had to learn how to stand up for myself and even just make my needs know.   I suppressed it as a kid because I was scared of how my mom would react.  In college and after I was stressed calling her because I never knew what kind of mood she would be in.  I have to call her today and I'm already dreading it because I could tell she was annoyed when I said I couldn't call her when she wanted.

Please get therapy.  My mom went on meds and got therapy.  And despite what I posted above, she has gotten drastically better.  My anxiety is just from all the years of dealing with her.  Had she not gotten help, I probably would have become estranged from her.  [/quote]
