[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Do you have any support? Friends? Family? Therapist? If you were my friend I would love to sit in the room with you while you hang up on your mom. I would be so proud of you.[/quote] I don’t have living family I can talk to about this except for my nuclear family- they get it. I have a few very close friends who understand. The hard part is this time of year when everyone is talking about holiday plans. People ask if I’m going to see my mom and I’m disgusted that I cover for our relationship by saying things like the trip is too far, no time off work, etc. Telling the truth to every acquaintance and colleague is totally inappropriate, though. I end up spending November and December like a liar, actor, or just fake version of myself, and it is exhausting.[/quote]
