[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom is the same way. When I was in my teens or twenties she embarrassed me all the time: if I did not respond for an hour, she would go through my call history and called every single number asking for me. When she could not find me,  she'd work herself up so badly that she'd have panic attacks, heart pains, crying spells, etc.
As a result I was extremely scared to lose contact with her - I've picked up my phone in the middle of sex, during a job interview, midterm, and opera performance. When I told her that what she does is unacceptable, she'd throw a fit,cry, complain to my dad who'd get mad at me for not taking care of mom. It is nuts , but she sees no problem in her behavior. Right now I lead a boring life working from home, so she has less reasons to worry; I also installed her Find My Friends app to make things easier for me and her.[/quote]

I feel badly for you.  Do yourself a favor and set some boundaries.  I already know that you are recreating this pattern with friends, co workers and romantic partners. Time to stop.[/quote]
