[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I would give my right arm for my mother. She sacrificed a lot raising me and putting me though school. In return I pay her bills, bought her a condo, and finance her vacations. That's the LEAST I can do for her. My father was a prick and took all he could from her and she had to start almost from zero. But that's ok now, I'm financially successful and she's living life to the fullest. [/quote] Your mom was tough and resilient, PP. it sounds like OP's mom parentified OP and inappropriately expected OP to be the man of the family and take care of her, and abdicated her adult responsibilities, selfishly laying it all on OP. Sounds like she is still acting like a clinging vine. Therapy helped me establish and enforce appropriate boundaries and I recommend it for OP. [/quote]
