Re: Blog update.
I'm sorry you're dealing with that, but I can't offer any advice. It's easy from the outside looking in to say "just don't talk to her", but I know it's different when it's your mom.
The best I can say is to just focus on yourself now that you're back in your own town and try to get the mother drama and your weight loss as completely separate things.
I actually saw you linked it on Twitter earlier before I saw this and was going to page you that if you wanted to chat via email over this we can. I've had a lot of bad experiences with parents and loved ones through the years and it took me a very long time and in my father's case at 27 years old when I finally cut him out of my life for good.
I can share my experiences or be here to listen just let me know
Wow... I'm so sorry you're dealing with all of that. I hope your husband is supportive. I think we eventually get to a point in our adult lives that we need the focus to be on us and our family, and let your parents live their own life. And if they're toxic to you and your well being, seperating yourself might be a good option.
Good luck with your momma drama. I hope you get an apology someday from her.
First off congrats on you weight loss and C25K. I know you've been working hard at it.
Second glad I'm not the only one with mama drama. I don't have any real advice b/c I'm not handling my own mama drama gracefully at this point, but I can certainly commiserate.
I guess one up side to your situation is that there is plenty of physical distance between you too. Good luck!
While my situation is different, I have certainly had my issues with my dad for my whole life. Short story- He's been out of my life pretty much since I graduated high school. Wasn't invited to wedding, and has not met K. He makes no effort to be in our lives, and at this point I'm OK with that.
I'm really glad that you are seeing a counselor. The one I saw in high school helped to put things in perspective for me. He told me that my dad is never going to change. So if I wanted to get over being angry with him I needed to change my actions and reactions. In reality we'd love for our parent to change and be who we want them to be. And of course cutting them out of our lives is hard because they are still the parent and a part of you will always want the attention/approval/etc from them. But you need to do what will make YOU the happiest.
I'm here if you need to talk. I can share more or be a sounding board. Unfortunately there is no magic solution.
