[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m Muslim and have a south Asian mother and this is not normal. Your mother is suffering from sever sever anxiety (the whole peeing in public thing?). Would highly recommend you check our and read some books about being the child of an anxious person. Boundaries are important but it’s better to understand their mindset and have an a-ha moment about how they think, so then you aren’t caught off guard.

On the plus side, it doesn’t sound like she’s a terrible person, just insanely anxious and uncomfortable to be around.

OP here. I didnt share that my mom used to slap me around until I was about to enter college. It was and still is a dysfunctional environment living with her and lack of emotional regulation. I know she means well but she just has no self-awareness and everything is about face. Just today, I accompanied her to a medical appointment and she was upset with me that I wasnt asking the doctor questions about fibromyglia. I was like, wasnt this appointment about you and why would my input be expected? She has a way of just interpreting everything in a twisted way it's scary. Like how she's telling me that Im overly sensitive and easily offended by prayers and religion just because Im not doing this for her. Nuts! She's the one who cant process me being an atheist. Btw PP, which books do you recommend?[/quote]
