[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14:44 i have started getting massages regularly! so funny! i wonder how many massage therapists know their clients are there because of their mothers?
and i can totally relate to 16:27. she wants the public info and a secret stash of private info to keep her feeling special. as if being mother or grandmother doesnt put her in that position naturally.

good luck to you. i would def mention july trip in therapy. even if she handles the time prior to the trip well i would be worried that she would ruin the vacation you are going on with her if it is immediately following. i would consider discussing that in therapy as well. [/quote]

Yes I'm totally worried that the "threat" would just lead to her holding it in and unleashing during the vacation. Which has me wanting to rake 16:27s advice and not tell her. However if she found out through other channels, it would never end. Also I am somewhat resentful that I have to hide this from her in the first place. In any case, I agree these are all issues to lay out with the therapist.

Other people are attending the vacation (inlaws etc) and she tends to hold it together better in front of outsiders (including DH, which is great bc keeping him close can keep they cray in check). She is very worried about perception (as an old southern lady should be!) (her thinking not mine).

Good luck to you:)[/quote]
