[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I definitely agree that you need to set boundaries that you feel comfortable with. I just can't help thinking about the other side though when I read these posts about needy mothers. Can you have an honest convo with her and figure out how BOTH of your needs can be met? You do love her and want her to know that AND you also need to not feel overwhelmed by her. It's a tough balance.[/quote] NP here, but people who are like this aren't able to empathize and think about things like this. They see the world only as how it relates to them. [/quote] Agree with NPs post-I used to think my mom was so big hearted and would do anything for anyone, and mostly, she would. Except it's only for the praise and glory that people heap on her. And then if that person is not nice to her? OMG it's weeks of "I did X for so-and-so and she was such an asshole to me that blah, blah, blah" It's All. About. Her. all the time. [/quote]
