[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You can call if you want to, OP. But the counselor is just an extension of your mom. I think you should go no contact on the counselor too.[/quote]

OP and everyone who cuts off their parent, don’t you think it’s a cruel thing to do?[/quote]

Don't YOU think abusing your vulnerable, helpless kids that YOU brought into this world is a cruel thing to do?[/quote]

It's amazing that the prior poster is so clueless. I can imagine what type of mother she is.[/quote]
