[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t fixate on defining or labeling her behavior, just get out of there and distance yourself. The thing about making you feel incapable will not go away with age, and even though you know better some part of you will believe her. Don’t let her paralyze your life, just take care of yourself and get out of there [/quote] This. I have an emotionally abusive mother so I get it. They key is you need to be independent of her. Sadly she may try to sabotage you if she is truly nuts, but just focus on your goal of being independent of her. Then, you can figure out what level of interactions you want with her, but I would not share anything too personal. Also, if your mom is like mine having a therapist to check in with now and then is helpful. During stressors and transitions my mother because highly abusive and prone to rage, insults and extremely controlling behavior. Hopefully your mom is not like this.[/quote]
