[quote=Anonymous]I sort of get the comment from the pps about it not being appropriate for a parent to trauma dump on their adult child. I think the level of closeness should really grow organically from the level of closeness the two have had in the past. In my case, my mother is a gas lighter who thinks she knows best and is all to happy to dispense unsolicited advice even when told not to. If I said I was sad about x, the response was often something like “you shouldn’t be sad about x” or “youre too sensitive”. This was the dynamic since I was a kid. My mom has gotten better over the years, but even so, I have very little interest in being her therapist or even her distant friend when she tries to tell me about her feelings about things. Find someone else. [/quote]
