Anxiety and feelings..

Posted on 05/03/08, 10:36 pm

Why am I so anxious around my mother? Why can't I relax around her? I know why really... but I'd like to really move past it.

She's abused me in all ways (except sexually) and because of that I can never trust her (though she demands I trust her)... And I can't help but feel anxious and uptight/serious whenever I'm around her.

Anyone have any ideas how I can move past this?

  I can totally relate to you on this. I am the same way with my Mom.
  It's really hard to enjoy ANYTHING when I'm around her or have a
  good time.
  
  I guess my only suggestion for both of us is that we have to accept
  that our Moms are the way they are so we need to become comfortable
  in our own skin so that it doesn't matter what they think because
  WE ARE HAPPY WITH US.
  
  I hope this helped somehow.
  
  I'm here if you ever need to talk

She gave us life and brought us into the world. So why do things have to be so difficult? This group is for anyone who has issues with their Mom and would like support in dealing with it. Together maybe we can get a better understanding of why and how to deal with it.
