Re: Yet another fight with my mom...I feel so alone :(

You've probably head this before, anon, but it sounds like you really need to set some boundaries.

Good luck.

I definitely have heard that. And I've tried but it seems to cause even more problems so I always end up giving in because it's easier that way. I hate it though.

Anyway thanks again for listening (or reading, whatever)!

yeah, stop being a doormat and hang up the damn phone.

You really think having an argument with her helps her stress? It honestly doesn't. It just means your both more on edge.

When you need a break, take one. Phones can be turned off. Don't let her know if you singled her out particularly though.

"You really think having an argument with her helps her stress? It honestly doesn't."

Except I don't see where it says that it does?

Echoing what Noodles said. Your mom isn't entitled to make demands of your time. If the conversation gets toxic, end it. Say "I cannot keep having this conversation right now, it's toxic and causing me stress" and if she tries to manipulate/guilt you into staying on the phone, don't let her. You can always talk to her later if you want to. End the conversation if she crosses your boundaries.

And also hopefully you can find an emotional support network for yourself outside of your parents, consisting of multiple people you can rely on and who can rely on you, so it's not one-sided, and from whom you can take distance if you need. Then you can have a relationship with your mom only on your terms and hopefully it will become healthier in time if she realizes you are serious about boundaries.

Yeah, this.

You can't change your mother or her behaviour but you can change your own behaviour which will a) be good for you in the short term and b) maybe even change your mother's behaviour towards you in the long term.

Good luck!
