[quote=Anonymous]Yes, it’s abnormal to seek emotional support from a child, adult or not. I am low contact with my mom for this reason. I won’t have a phone conversation with her because all she wants is support for her problems. When I was a child, it was about getting support due to her issues with my dad, or complaints about my siblings. It was very dysfunctional and definitely did a number on me. As an adult, it become long one sided phone calls where she just talked incessantly about her issues. One day when I was having a lot of challenges of my own, in my 20s, I asked her on a phone call why she never inquired about my life. I don’t recall the answer but it didn’t lead to any changes. It seemed very foreign to her that she should ask how her child was doing. I’m so much happier and content, at peace, now that I am low contact. [/quote]
