Guest guest Posted August 30, 2010 Report Posted August 30, 2010 Just a topic for discussion... My mom was always one who threatened suicide when I " disappointed " her. Even as an adult with my own family I find myself worrying that if I do not try my hardest to be what she needs she will kill herself.... In Feb. of this year she (for the first time) attempted suicide... It was a poor attempt but still an attempt. And as I am sure you can guess what some of the first things she said about the attempt was that she moved several states to live close to me and I am not making her happy. So, in summary she trys to blame me for her suicidal desires... As a child I remember sitting at home in complete shock and fear as she would tell me that I disappointed her so much that she would leave the house and tell me she was going to go run her car head on into a semi... Pretty tough on a little one.... I totally understand the concept of " walking on eggshells " ... I think this makes NC seem impossible because of what might happen if that is what I chose... She also refuses any sort of help (counseling...etc) and gets angry if it is suggested. Anyone else have experiences like this? Quote
