[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are my mother. She thought she was GREAT. I found her suffocating as hell. Physically and emotionally, even though I couldn't articulate it for the first ten or so years I felt that way. [/quote] +1. I had a similar mom. She gave up her career and prioritized raising kids over everything else. Few interests or friends. She thought it made her terrific. I felt incredibly smothered and uncomfortable. I rebelled as a teen and likely because I needed space to breathe. I have a few friends who are the mommy martyr types. No social life outside of kids. SAHMs. Everything for the kids. They have young kids and I can see how much they already pull away from their mom. It’s very obvious their moms need to step back and have their own life. [/quote]
