[quote=Anonymous]Op you say she is enmeshed with her parents so this is what she knows. She says she only wants to be around family because this is what she was taught growing up so that she was enmeshed with her parents. Sad thing is it worked on her. She hasn't been able to help herself and needs therapy or needs to first understand something is wrong but I doubt she'll get there. Its not your job or responsibility to help her see this. You need to help yourself. I would not argue with her. If she wants to get together just tell her that there are women's groups local that would be great for her. If she wants to see you tell her you can on xyz day otherwise you are busy. If she complains simply ignore. I wouldn't expect her to stop though. If that is what you are after, something that will make her stop and fix this, there isn't. Its up to your mom to decide to go out and make friends or fill her time in with things she enjoys. You can't make her get it.[/quote]
