[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here,

I totally acknowledge that it must be disappointing for my mom to learn that we are considering changing my daughter’s middle name after we already picked it. I’m also aware that we shouldn’t have announced her name until after her birth. This is our first baby and we have definitely learned our lesson! I always wondered why people waited— now I understand.

I just feel like my mom hasn’t been deserving. We have a very complicated relationship and it was probably (definitely) a mistake to tell her we were using her name. She has just been terrible throughout my pregnancy. She is a narcissist and my therapist suggested that perhaps she’s afraid of losing some control or power. [/quote]

You need to cut WAY BACK on your contact with your mom. If your therapist isn’t helping you with this, then you need a new therapist. It is nuts that a toxic person is this involved in your life. She should know very, very little about what is going on.[/quote]
