[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't build your life around around your mother's personality disorder. Do what's right for your kid. [/quote]

This is the correct answer. [b]Even though you've probably already built your life around it for decades. [/b]But you can at least not build your child's life around it.[/quote]

OP here - I'm curious, what do you mean by this? I don't doubt that my relationship with my mother is unhealthy in many ways. I'd love to hear an outsider's perspective. I don't know what it is like to have a different type of mother.[/quote]

The fact that you are even thinking about your mom’s reaction to this is symptomatic. It is not healthy and not normal. She has conditioned you to be taking care of her feelings even when your only priority should be your DD and her best interest. She wants you to continue being her child (yet also, in this caretaking role, parentified) and not a fully independent adult with a child of your own as the appropriate object of your caretaking.[/quote]

Wow, this is just really over the top and dramatic. Sorry.[/quote]
