Guest guest Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hi. I'm Michele and I have a NADA. Saying this is really hard as I want to love my mother, and I'd like to have a normal relationship with her. Sadly, after all this time, I'm starting to see that this might be impossible. I am in my mid-30s, a teacher, and a single mother to one son. My Mom has always tried to " run " my life and make my decisions, and it is only now that I am starting to see how hurtful this has been. We must all " comply " with her and at once, or there is hell to pay. She is persistent beyond all imagination. I am tired of living this way. I am tired of her coming into my house and being emotionally abusive. Sometimes it is just so easy to get caught in her " world " and believe all that she says about and to me. She refuses to comply with boundaries that I set, and seeing multiple therapists with her has done little good. I am exhausted by being with her and actually broke out in hives when we were together yesterday. Breaking away seems impossible as my parents are very involved (and very good) with my son. I am an only child, so they are the only close family members that he has. Moving away would devastate him as he sees them daily. Is there a way for him to have them in his life and for me not to be dominated by her? Thank you for listening. Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 The blind-diabetics list has many internationals on it. You, Sal, are evidently not from the US, where many of us who thought Sal was male reside. I think a number of our UK members use the Clever Check, unless I'm confusing it with another meter.
