[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry your mother's response to you has not been helpful. I agree that staying home for Thanksgiving sounds best, and I hope that you can find a pleasant, low-key way to celebrate this year. It is impossible to know someone else's motivation, and speculating at such is often a one-way ticket to feeling wound-up. You can, however, cut down on the feelings of irritation. Just reduce the flow of information to your mom. She does not have a right to your information. Just be vague if she asks. You're "Ok, thanks." You have no new updates about your sinuses to share (even if you've seen three specialists this week). You know that her response won't be helpful, so stop inviting it. Seek support from people who can be relied upon to be emotionally safe and to trust your judgement and experience as an adult. [/quote]
