[quote=Anonymous]Calmly inform her of what you will do like Face Time once a week or whatever and politely let her know it is not up for discussion and you may need to decrease if it's too much. You is needy and anxious and looking to be enmeshed. Don't enable her to remain this way by giving in to her demands. The more you try to please, the more demands she will have and the less she feel a need to build her own life. Also enmeshment very often leads to resentment and eventually estrangement so you are protecting your relationship with her by setting healthy boundaries. If she is very emotionally challenged and cannot handle boundaries consider working with a therapist on strategies and dealing with the backlash if mom, needs to control everything and can't handle a no of any shape or form. Love is not suffocating.[/quote]
