[quote=Anonymous]OP, how well I know the feeling of "maybe my mom will really change this time and I can trust her." But it was only after I set limits with her and accepted that she wasn't going to change that my relationship got better. It got better because she couldn't push my buttons anymore and I was able to think of her the way I would about an anxious old neighbor lady -- easy enough to comfort her because her anxiety no longer set something off in me. But your parents sound a whole lot worse than my mom so who knows if you will ever feel that way about them. At any rate, you sound like a thoughtful, self-reflective person working towards an answer that will work for you. Good luck![/quote]
