A few months ago my mom went to a therapy session with me. In that therapy session my therapist helped me set up a boundary that said my parents weren't supposed to come inspect my apartment for cleanliness anymore as it is my responsibility to keep it clean according to my landlord's rules. My mom violated that boundary last week and I told my therapist about it and she helped me gather the strength to confront my mom about it.

Well I did today and now I'm getting the repercussions of it. My mom is acting like a wounded child. I feel bad because I feel guilty for making her feel bad. But it was my boundary and she crossed it so how do I make myself not feel bad for her not taking it well?

Btw yes I am a people pleaser.
