My mom wanted to know every single detail of my life just so she could use it against me.

my mom supports me having boundaries with everybody except her. it’s exhausting setting any type of boundary

How do I deal with this as the child who’s now an adult? A simple boundary is not respected. They always guilt me for having normal boundaries

My mom getting angry with me for not being her therapist and telling me “why would I talk to a therapist? They’re a stranger.” Like yes mom, that’s the damn point!

Yup. As an adult I realize I was deliberately not taught skills that could result in me gaining independence because it meant my mother would feel rejected. Any thoughts or actions I expressed that weren’t exactly the way she would do or think were harshly criticized.

Kinda makes sense when my mom told me she had kids to receive the love she never got as a child.

My daughter asked me to not lay on her stuffed animal and said sorry. I said nope don’t apologize, that’s your toy, your boundary and I’m not going to lay on him. It’s perfectly fine to tell me no!

My mom said “I’m telling you this because I don’t just see you like a daughter but my friend” and it made me feel so uncomfortable and sad.

My fiance and I were moving back to our home state a few years ago, 3 states away. My mom once said to my fiance when I wasn’t around “I’m not ready for you to take my Jordyn yet.” I was a 24 year old woman when she told him that.

Hiding things or being secretive when no I’m just tired of being controlled

Currently being rejected by my mother because I’m now married and have maintained firm boundaries so she doesn’t come between my husband and I.

So many parents build their identities around how they manage or parent their children. There isn’t a mutual relationship so they create a dependency for their own sense of self.
