[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah....look, it sounds to me like your personality didn't mesh with your family of origin, and you were kind of an asshole to deal with.  A pretty typical teenage asshole, but an asshole nonetheless.  Time to move on, hon.  Of course you were exhausting to deal with.  I'm exhausted reading your post.  Your description of your mom's volunteer work....you sound kind of like a taker, frankly.  Like you wanted to take and take and take and take from your mom, who by your own assessment is an introvert, and then got pissed when she did something meaningful for herself.

Try some therapy.  [/quote]

I wasn't a taker at all. That was part of my mother's issue. She wanted me to need her and I didn't.  She wanted me to take and I didn't want to take anything from her.

It wasn't just volunteer work, although it started out that way. It consumed her life and became problematic on many levels. She went cold turkey about ten years ago and hasn't really been an issue since. [/quote]
