[quote=Anonymous]Yes. I went to therapy with my mom. I actually posted about it on here. We had what I thought was a pretty toxic relationship. I was at the point where I didn't know if I could have a relationship with her. She did some messed up things which I don't want to detail too much, but some examples are holding family money over my head and telling me she essentially didn't want to attend a milestone event in my life which she had been planning to attend. I had to not speak to her for a few months and then told her we needed to do therapy or I couldn't see her for a long time. I was not trying to make her do it, but that was how I felt. I think we went 3 times and she and I each went once or twice alone. That is what we needed. I think her seeing me cry in front of someone else finally made it sink in for her . She let go of trying to be controlling in various ways and now we have more of a friendship than a power struggle. I am so grateful we did it. [/quote]
