[quote=Anonymous]OP I agree with tell them less and I might even see them less. With my mother she needs a pacifier. Even when we share less, she then emotes about her own issues, creates drama and emotes about things she thinks could happen or scenarios that appear in her head out of the blue. It's not even about her anxiety being contagious anymore, but it's just about not having the bandwidth to tap dance around it. She just escalates and if you make an excuse to leave anxiety turns to rage. I used to think my mother was well-intentioned to and her anxiety was love. It is mental illness, not love. The times she gets hysterical enough to treat it and actually goes on medication she is able to have a healthy relationship with us, but as soon as she feels better she goes off. The way boundaries worked for us is we started off with a few, and now we have rock solid walls and it's because boundaries made her escalate.[/quote]
