Thank you for your recommendations. My therapist mentioned one called The Mom Factor. I actually have the Boundaries by Townsend and Cloud, but hadn't read very much of it when I did about 8 months ago. Also, I know a lot more about myself with the help of my therapist, as well as my own personal commitment to stop allowing her to control & bully me. I refuse to be a victim of someone else's internal hell that they are living in and to put up with her bullying.
I was telling my therapist the other day that right now when I read those books even though I know they are helpful, I avoid it bc it triggers by angry towards my mom & im tired of allowing her fragile ego to take up anymore of my emotional well being.

Is this normal to want to avoid things, the books being an example, that trigger & resurface the emotional scars?
