I'm pretty new here, I've done a lot of ready but not posting. I've started seeing a therapist -have seen her for 3 weeks now. We've been talking a lot about my child hood and it appears that my mother was narsassistic, and I'm coming to terms with that. However, she is elderly now and is having physical problems and needs my help. I am always there for her, but a lot of these emotions are coming to the surface. If it were all in the past I'd certainly will willing to leave it there, but the manipulations and verbal attempts at control are still there, still coming at me daily. I'm an only child and I can't simply walk away, I know I have to learn to deal with this, she's not likely to change at 83 years old. Does anyone else have this issue, and if so how do you deal with it? Thank you!
