One of my huge anxiety triggers is my mother. I posted earlier about
my problems with her and what I went thru in the past with her and my sister. For those who don't know it was their lies, guilt trips, manipulation and lack of empathy towards me. I was no contact for three years and decided 6 months ago to let go, let God, and started talking to my mother again. The no contact with her went to low contact and my boundaries are now very strong. The problem is, I have a real hard time talking to her on the phone. She is very needy and a very depressed person who looks to me for her happiness. Everytime we talk she whines and moans about
her health/ work/money/etc and I just get so drained and have constant panic attacks after our talk. I have ALWAYS been a parent to my mother from the age I remember age 3. I'm done, I have enough problems raising my handicapped adult son. How do I deal with her, how do I cope? She texts or calls and whines how much she misses me but has not visited my home in four years.
