I recently spoke to my mother about how I felt (recently being last night) I told her about how having to bear her load stresses me out and how I don't mind her talking to me, bu expecting me to carry all her burdens is just ridiculous. She apologized and said she would try to be a good mother... but immediatly returned to making me her emotional dumping site. I don't understand. She's not old enough to have forgotten. Why won't she listen to me?

Life is not a fairy tale
