I came to the conclusion that I have "mommy issues". Ha!
Many people have daddy issues for various reasons, but my mom and I...lately we just keep butting heads. I'm so frustrated with her sometimes. But she's my mom and I love and don't intentionally want to hurt her. It's been going like this for years, and we've really never been that close if I look back to adolescence.
So yea...mommy issues

I'm guessing that's probably the most common issue.

I'll get back to this soon. I'm going to a NAMI meeting.
Thanks for this!

Most definitely..it was a constant topic in group therapy when I was in PHP in November. Things have been awkward since my grandma, her mom, passed (Xmas 2013). My grandma was that person everyone in the family (both immediate and extended) went to, and now we're all lost. I just process my grief differently and my communication skills are waaay different in general. I'm more direct and aggressive, and she is the complete opposite. I need to learn how communicate better.

I had issues with my mom for how she was when I was growing up for a long time. I was able to work through it with my late husband's help and now we get along great for the most part. Sometimes the other person won't change and you can only change how you react to them.

I'm just waiting for my mom to call next, because I have some real concerns about how she is ignoring the fact that a family member is sexually harassing my daughter. She is all about pretending stuff didn't happen. In a nutshell, dear elderly mom can gaslight the crap out of many family situations. Mommie issues!

I don't have mommy issues but I have "daddy's gf issues" lol. The woman was rotten to us and I have PTSD because of it. Now I have a severe issue with women and am either intimidated, scared, or can't trust. Often a mix of all. I guess we can have any kind of people issues depending on who caused trauma for us in life.

Oh don't get me started about my dad's gf! Thankfully no trauma issues and that I've never had to live with her...but my dad and I have fought and strained our relationship over it. He now knows for a fact that I will not talk to her or will be in her presence. Now that the boundary has been established, we're close again.
