Mess
(Post I made a couple of days ago) I’m really struggling at home at the moment. Without going into too much detail, basically my Mum’s track record with men is not good. Violence was involved and it’s left me feeling untrustworthy of men in general and I feel really uncomfortable. She’s just started seeing someone new. He seems OK but I’ve been acting like I’m fine with everything when really, I HATE it! What’s made it worse is that now my Mum is asking for my help with finding somewhere for them to go together overnight. She talks to me about him and how things are going and I’m trying not to let it show I don’t like it, but the more I do, the more she talks to me about it.She’s really happy at the moment and I don’t want to ruin it for her. What do I do? Has anyone else been in this position? (Update from today)Not had a good day and tonight she's asked me to sit down with her with my laptop and look at hotel sites etc. I told her I didn't want to tonight and said "I thought you were taking things slowly". I stuck by how I felt and said "not tonight" being assertive like I've been asked to do in therapy. Now she's really pissed off with me and there's an atmosphere..... I knew it wouldn't work and now I feel even worse! x-Bliss-x
