[quote=Anonymous]OP, so sorry for this. Glad your mother was sympathetic. You have to remember this is new to her, too, and she is likely still processing. She probably feels awkward, too, and isn't sure how to approach you or bring it up. While I strongly agree this is a topic for therapy, given your timing how would you feel about laying down some ground rules? Mom, I know we talked about my dad, and I'm glad it's finally out there. I know this is a lot for you to absorb, too. I'm in therapy, and I have a lot of work to do. I'm glad I told you, but that was a big step for me. What I need most right now is to continue to do my own work with my therapist. There's nothing that can be done right now, anyway, so I'm asking if we can let it lie for a little bit? When I'm ready to talk about it I will. With a supportive mother, i'd hope her response would be, whatever you need, you just tell me, I'm always here for you. [/quote]
