[quote=Anonymous]My mom had severe untreated anxiety that she managed by being super rigid. It took raising a kid with severe anxiety for me to recognize when my mom was triggered. That made it easier for me to assume good intentions on her part and to restrain my own urge to push back. She had a really rough life (death of a parent, extreme poverty, racial prejudice and violence, and a abusive marriage). The rigidity that drove me nuts was her attempt to keep herself and her kids safe. She and I have a pretty good relationship now because I changed how I respond to her. She’ll never be my complete confidant because she would freak out.[/quote]
