[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound like you've really worked through this, OP, and you're very mindful of the reasons for the behavior, which helps. You know now that your mom has issues and her coping behaviors are not healthy for you. You're a perfectly good daughter, and she and her enabler, your dad, use the guilt angles to pressure you into giving in to her, even though you know it's unhealthy for you mentally and physically. They both are pushing at your boundaries. I have recommended the book Boundaries before, because it helps define a lot of the ways people push at our boundaries, and how to handle it. It's helped my husband in dealing with his mom, and he can finally say, "if she pushes, and I stand firm, she's not going to be happy about it, but that's HER problem."[/quote] Is this book worth reading if you're not Christian or religious? The info on Amazon says it offers biblically based help which doesn't really appeal to me. [/quote]
