...See more I think I tried this before but maybe didn't followup. If you want to chat as buddies to help each other feel less lonely I can start a separate forum post (members can't use chat). Thanks. Day

...See more Hi all, I finally had family therapy with my mom yesterday (she came onto my session). I am feeling very triggered by it today, and I couldn't fall asleep until about 5am. I am able to watch my classes from home, but I had wanted to go in person, but I just decided to take care of myself and watch from home. My mom was super emotional and kind of acted like a 5 year old child who is being told they can't have a toy. She didn't take any accountability and just painted things as I have a problem and have been shutting her out and she is "losing her daughter" even though I explained that we have a difficult relationship and I have been setting boundaries for my wellbeing. She wasn't able to show empathy towards me or really acknowledge anything about how I felt. I tried to explain I had a hard time growing up and was really shy and she was just like "you had plenty of friends". I guess I need to try to remember that I tried my best to articulate myself and my emotions, and I can be proud of that. Maybe things will improve in future sessions... or I will have to be really strong about boundaries even though she is so manipulative and just end up only talking to her like 3 times per year idk. Day (I posted this also in family community, but seems like it might be appropriate here idk)

Gifts and Love bombing

...See more Hey, I got really upset today because my parents sent me flowers, because I told them my cat has cancer. My mom has been emotionally abusive in the past. I have told her many times that her behavior hurt me and that I feel stressed spending time with her, but she just selectively forgets and insists on giving gifts. I also told her before that I have mixed feelings about gifts from her because of our past conflicts, but she said I was being negative and dismissed me. I did tell them about my cat because I felt like I needed to not avoid telling them, but it feels like now the floodgates have opened where she is pushing to connect with me and disregard my boundaries about not wanting to connect with her again. I sent her an email expressing how I feel. I did thank her for the flowers but expressed that what I really need is a verbal acknowledgment of my feelings of hurt. I feel like she most likely unfortunately will take it personally again, but I feel like I'm tired of being walked over and I need to just keep repeating "I am still hurting; I am still upset" even if she never accepts it because I deserve to stand up for myself and take up space. Thanks, Day

...See more Hi, I am feeling really lonely today. I am not in contact with parents due to abuse, and I'm single, so I have been focused on trying to make friends. I am also in school full time so it's been really hard to meet people. I have limited time to go to events and join groups. I got to a dance class once a week, but it is pretty far drive. My friends from school are overwhelmed with school and consistently turn down plans. I have resorted to trying to find friends on a dating app. I got a bunch of matches and this weekend I had plans to meet with two different people. One cancelled due to covid, so that's ok. The other I asked do you still want to hang out tomorrow and she hasn't responded at all. I am feeling really frustrated and resentful because I am putting in so much effort to connect with people and not be lonely but people keep letting me down and it's really not helping my trust issues and feeling like I can't count on people. Sorry I think just kind of wanted to rant lol. Don't really want advice just wanted to rant lol
