[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s happening abroad to my understanding; maybe there are different requirements for counselors.
The fact that you are NC and still are pained by this attempt shows you need your own counselor OP[/quote]

This is OP. It was actually after some counseling sessions that I felt empowered enough to go NC. I am from a culture which is very focused on filial piety and the idea of estrangement is quite shocking to people in my culture. My mom is an emotionally disturbed person whom I suspect also has Borderline personality disorder. Under her so-called concern for my well-being is really a need for control and I refuse to fulfill that desire for her. Which is why I’m thinking that it’s better to call the counselor rather than give her a response via email as I really like to maintain NC. If she actually shows a response via email to my mom, it would just be used as ammunition. I think pain for someone in my situation is quite a natural response. [/quote]

To clarify, I don’t judge you for going NC; it’s the fact that you can’t tell mom’s “ally” to basically eff off and are agonizing over the situation that made me suggest high quality individual counseling for you.

Maybe the OP doesn’t want to be rude? This is someone they met before. Would be different if this counselor was a complete stranger. [/quote]
