[quote=Anonymous]Here awe some reasonable boundaries for you: - talk twice a week either on phone or Skype or FaceTime - send pic once a week (which is even a lot, once a month is more reasonable) - visit two or three times a year total - she must stop comparing to birth mom. Each time she does, you say "this is not a competition and I refuse to indulge your attempts to make it one. Op you must be firm. She will be hurt but she will get over it. I suggest you let the therapist know you are implementing healthy boundaries you and your husband have agreed work best for your family and you would appreciate the therapist helping your mom come to terms with them. Do not let the therapist talk you into giving any more than is comfortable for you. Then the therapist is not respecting your boundaries.[/quote]
