Had another 'counseling' session with 'the mom' yesterday. I'm not sure how much longer I can endure this. It's amusing how 'convenient' her memory loss is at times. She absolutely denies certain events occurred. Other times, when it's a situation that she is trying to make a point with, she is crystal clear on. The therapist told her that clearly we needed to quit focusing on past events and focus on current stuff. But "the mom" keeps bringing up old stuff. I told 'the mom' that I didn't know her, that I would like to get to know her. So I asked her what her passions were. Her reply was her 'hummingbirds and bird feeders'. Um, okay. The therapist suggested something more intimate/personal to share. My mother claims she's "an open book." I literally laughed out loud. I wouldn't even know where to begin - I can interact better with a complete stranger and learn more about them than trying to talk to her. She is extremely superficial about anything she discloses. The crux of our 'issues' are boundaries. She's accustomed to having carte blanche with me and she's got a wall like a reinforced fort around her. That's fair? |

i hate to say it, but you are a champ for still trying. i would probably just cut interaction with 'the mom' down to the bare minimum, holidays only, and go on with life. she won't change and you shouldn't. jmho
