Guest guest Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Thanks for the welcome, everyone. Right now I am feeling kind of overwhelmed. There is relief at finally recognizing my mom's patterns and naming them and seeing that so many of you struggle with the same!! But also sadness in facing her limitations, trying to give up the hope that I can finally make her see me. I see so so many of my " fleas " as I read your wise words...the one I noticed today that is huge for me is the tendency not to trust what people say. My wife (I'm married to a woman) and I actually have a joke about it and we made a " safe word " so I don't ask her thousands of times if she is " sure " she means something. I always read so, so much into everything people say, and I always think people are angry with me. I have spent much of my adult life trying to talk back to these feelings but they sure do pop back up. I have what feels like a million things I want to ask advice/run by you all, but I can't think where to start. I am just going to keep reading for a while. Thank you so much for being there and being so honest and smart and strong. Leah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
