| Can o' Worms Drama |
| 09.07.07 (11:24 am) [edit] |
| It's been a long time since I've posted about 'the mom'. She sent a number of letters leading up to my birthday wanting to give me a 'gift' that was excessive and I would never accept. That she wanted to get together for lunch, blah blah blah. I replied that the only gift I was interested in was her participation in family counseling. I told her that I would not accept any further correspondence from her, that she could set up the appt and tell the counselor to mail me appt information. Didn't hear anything back for 2 weeks. Figured she was backing off again. Got another letter from her this morning with "about counseling appt" on the outside. So I didn't send it back. She wants me to set up the appt. Even with 'the mediation stuff' going on right now, I am in a good place. No anxiety, insomnia, drama. I'm at peace. I really don't want to open the can of mom worms. However, I did tell her that I would participate in the counseling. I don't really expect her to participate in a genuine way - she's always been really superficial in counseling in the past. Going to sit on it and bounce ideas around with my inner circle. |

At least she's agreed to it...Maybe counselling with mother this time will be different in a good way...

If you can both be open nd honest, without an argument, a lot can be accomplished...The counselor probably won't tolerate arguing anyway!!

Based on her recent letters, nothing has changed. However, a friend came up with a great suggestion - which is technically correct - that I'm between therapists at the moment. Any therapist I was seeing on an individual basis would not get involved with family counseling - conflict of interest.
I'm going to marinate on it over the weekend.

I have been exceedingly candid and honest but she has consistently and repeatedly been unable to participate in a genuine manner. I'm not going to waste my time with her putting on a grand production. I'll give her a couple of shots to see if she'll get more comfortable with the sessions but I'm not going to beat a dead horse.
