I'm so happy for you!
Quote From: marcia52Mom called me this morning and left a voice mail that she was sorry that she was sorry she was so bitchy. For her it's a first. She called later tonite and we talked - and that's another first cause usually it takes me days to get over the anger - but I talked to her and when we ended the phone call, I told her I loved her.
ALl this time I was afraid to be truthful to her and now, well, I have rules in place and they will remain - my own mental health is at stake.
But I'm so glad I chose to turn to Self Matters and committing 3 years of my life to step back and stop the merry-go-round / roller coaster ride I've been on for so long. I like growing up and becoming an adult!
M Your mother has sensed the change in you, she does not have the power to get to you anymore, so is re-evaluating her position. I don't think they ever consciously see it that way, they are just so used to being the way they've always been. When you are different, they will react differently to you. Such a simple concept isn't it? But such a long way to get there. Congratulations and welcome to your life.
