[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op again. And it’s definitely what my siblings would say. I anticipate a call from each sibling at some point soon, telling me how much I’m worrying my mom by not giving her enough details on my condition.[/quote]

OP our families operate the same and it took my own illness for me to set boundaries without apologies and with far less guilt. You simply tell your sibling you are not responsible for mom's regulation of anxiety. Is mom is struggling, then she needs to seek professional help. If THEY care about your health they will stop trying to create drama and respect boundaries.

My mom does not help anyone ill, does not even visit "close family members" dying, but she thinks she is a saint because she will call them often and drive them insane with her anxiety. When they stop answering her calls or texts she then persists and insists they contact her so she knows they are OK. if the person confronts her and makes clear what boundaries are needed she turns into a martyr.[/quote]
