[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom was very controlling when I was growing up. She never learned to let go and stop parenting. As an adult I always felt smothered and not heard. She also used me as her therapist and it's all sorts of boundary-crossing dysfunction. We loved each fiercely, but we never had a normal, healthy adult relationship. [/quote] This is me and my mother to a T. She's also at the same time extremely emotionally distant and judgmental. Her mother was an alcoholic. I learned a few years ago that this behavior is typical with children of alcoholics. Learning about setting boundaries with her really helps, but it's a constant effort on my part and exhausting.[/quote]
