Hi Ijustwantpeace:
Thanks for coming back and posting an update. It is always encouraging for others to hear some good news. I'm glad that you have made progress with using boundaries and working through FOG!
It sounds like you put in a lot of hard work. It isn't easy, but can be worth the efforts. I can see that you have compassion for your mom and her specific situation, but I'm glad you have taken steps to make your life better.
I'm sorry that your mom is going through another bad cycle. I hope that she follows through with the class on boundaries and hopefully gets additional help.
Stay strong and let us know how things progress.
I talked to her last night night and she said did not do her reading assignments, said the class is boring and she "knows" all this stuff. I told her there is a difference between knowing and doing. You can read a million books, but if no action is taken it is worthless.
Unless someone knows how to install the boundary app into my mom's brain I am ready to sell my house and move to another country. These spurts, of drama which I am affectionately referring to as sh*tnados are just too much to deal with every 3,6, or 9 months it happens all over again.
I tried to tell her no one is going to want to be around her unless she learns this life skill. I got treatment, as did my cousin. Her dad is nuts too.
She does not understand what is appropriate or inappropriate in terms of boundaries. These type of unpredictable behavior drives everyone nuts.
