[quote=Anonymous]Also, she may try to punish you when you set boundaries by giving you the silence treatment or declaring you dead. Happened to us for a while and i was such a blessing. There was no guilt because it was her decision. We were trying to have s relationship. I could finally breathe and sleep better. Also, your therapist usually doesn't want you to cut off from a parent, but if the parent cuts you off, it's a lot easier for them to digest especially if all you did was impose reasonable boundaries. Of course, when mom "punished me" by stopping contact I no longer needed therapy because all that junk in my head emptied out. The kicker comes when they decide to allow you back into their lives when you never asked them too. If you declare me dead, I prefer to stay that way to you. I had to make it clear the boundaries that made you reject me remain if you want to be in touch again.[/quote]
