I’ve tried to take the keys away because I’m willing to take her anywhere but she remains resistant and my sister doesn’t support me in that so it’s a complicated situation.

I have an anxious attachment style and am in a relationship with someone who has an avoidant attachment style. It’s an interesting dynamic. I’m learning a lot how to effectively manage that combination for optimal effect.

I’m doing okay. Have not seen signs for SAD yet. Hopefully I won’t.

Going to get my COVID booster next Monday. I’ll feel a bit better then about going out in public.

I hope everyone has a peaceful day.
I’m sorry your mum won’t give up her keys. My mum voluntarily gave it up when I moved in with her. At first she was nervous about asking me to go places but that got better. Then she started asking me to go pick up stuff instead of asking me to drive her. She got to love not having to drive. Then she would boast to friends and relatives that I drove her anywhere. She was quite happy with the situation.

Wish your sister supported you in this.
