T protective of me

WePow, you did AWESOME. I am so proud of you.

Feeling lost a bit today. Told mom yesterday that I really can't spend time with them when they go back through on the way home - and my punishment is her being cold to me today on the phone. Why should I care anyway...

because she is your mom and it hurts when she is cold to you.i'm sorry that this is the reaction you are getting instead of the understanding i bet you are really hoping for.plese do what you need to do for yourself and wellbeing.you need to come first .

Good for you! Good self care after the fact.

But I am concerned about you rationale of "why should I care anyway" and those kinds of comments. Don't think that way if you can stop it. That tends to minimize or try to put something that is important and would be wonderful if it were different into a category of well, idk, "it doesn't really matter" ??? type thought?

I wish you had called your T so T could have learned some things while they were fresh. T's heavily invested in your mental health it appears to me. Try and give him what he needs to help you (he isn't a mind reader either I bet.)


TC!

Does your mum know how your dad treated you when you were a child? I agree, talk to your T when you can.

(((((((((((WePow))))))))))))

I'm so glad you made it through their visit.

((( WePow )))

I am glad you made it through the visit and accomplished what you set out to do. How are you feeling now?

I'm sorry you're feeling a little down about your Mom. Maybe she's not punishing you. Maybe SHE is feeling hurt that you said you can't spend more time with her, and didn't know how to react to that. Maybe she thought you were punishing HER? Just a thought. I agree wih (JD). Your feelings are important. When will you see T next? You were strong with your Dad, and now is a time you need some extra nurturing. Be nice to yourself. You deserve it!

Thanks all. Ocean, my mom doesn't know the details. I did tell her when things were going on, but she always took dad's side or said that I was making up stories. She would get mad at me instead of dad.

I ended up sleeping 13 hours last night. I know she doesn't realize what really happened. She doesn't even know that I had a major breakdown this spring that put me out of work for 3 months. I may tell her - not decided yet.

I see T on Wed.

I'm glad you got some sleep last night, that always helps! I'm really sorry your mom reacted that way. Please try to remember that it's about HER and not YOU.

Thinking of you and sending you so much love

((((WePow)))))

It might be a good idea to discuss with your T whether to tell your mum and how, what and when to tell. I sense that it would be important for you to repair that relationship at some point (as you were looking forward to seeing your mum), and T will be able to help with how best that could be done.

Well done on getting through this! It must have been very hard. I'm not surprised you are exhausted.

((((Oceanwave))))) thank you. was going to chat with you but missed you.
I am in an odd way today. At work but something not right inside but not sure what? odd.

WePow!
How are things?

(((((( Oceanwave )))))) Thank you TONS for helping me out today.
I am feeling safter tonight. Wow. What a trip today was.
I hate flashbacks!!!

(((((wepow)))))
I'm glad you're feeling safer. Flashbacks are the worst. I'm so sorry.

(((((((((((WePow)))))))))))

I hope everything is going okay.

WePow, how are you doing today?
