[quote=Anonymous]My mom is the opposite, but it can be just as challenging. I have learned that she is also not my person. It's a little depressing because I have seen friends go through medical issues and have such supportive and awesome moms, whereas I have to keep mine at a distance when it comes ot health issues. What helped me was accepting that this stems from her own psychological issues. She has a need for control because of a childhood trauma (car accident killed her sister in front of her) and part of how she thinks she can have control over difficult situations is by being overbearing. Once I accepted it was a mental health issue and all that, I had more sympathy. Not that I don't find it sad that I can't have her be what I need her to be, but it helps with the anger. [/quote]
