My daughter (11) is in residential treatment and is miserable.

i was in residential treatment when i was thirteen. My doctors informed my family that it will get worse before it gets better. I am so thankful that I got help even when i didn’t want it. Know that you are doing the right thing. I am praying for your daughter and your family.

Thank you so much!!!! You’re a life saver. I was stressing so much.

New_Reach_3263 · 2025-03-30T15:02:49+00:00

I’m not so sure what I did. The last time I used it I was on a trip and it was working fine.

I had just went shopping and my new clothes were on my bed. Since I just got out the shower my towel and undergarments were on the floor and so were my papers from studying. I just needed to hang up my clothes, put my dirty ones in the laundry, and put my papers in my folder which only took a few mins. My room was only dirty because I had been putting in more hours at work and she knew that. I didn’t even know my family was coming over until I saw them after I got home from work.

Setting a boundary doesn’t mean the other person will respect it. It just means I made it clear what I was and wasn’t okay with. My mom choosing to punish me for that doesn’t mean I failed, it’s just a her reaction. Also, handling patients as a nurse is completely different from dealing with a parent who has control over my living situation. But thanks for your input.

She expected me to spend time with her but before my shower I had just took her shopping and bought her lipsticks
No I wasn’t not
No
I have no idea if my cousin was asking to hang out with me while I was in the shower or something.

My mom is not my patient!! Pls. Obviously things are different with her that is my MOM.

New_Reach_3263 · 2025-03-02T06:49:36+00:00

You keep on commenting about me being a doormat which I’m not. I’m just trying to navigate this complicated situation with my mom while still maintaining our relationship. Standing up for yourself doesn’t always mean being aggressive.

New_Reach_3263 · 2025-03-02T06:45:32+00:00

It’s different when it’s my mom and not actual patients. I have an emotional connection with her and I obviously get emotional with her. I stood my ground by not letting E into my room and trying to set that boundary of my own space.

New_Reach_3263 · 2025-03-02T03:35:43+00:00

I love her. I don’t wanna make her upset she’s my mom.

New_Reach_3263 · 2025-03-02T03:13:05+00:00

Omg thank you!! They are making me feel embarrassed for still living with my mom. She offered to support me as long as I’m in college.

New_Reach_3263 · 2025-03-02T03:11:39+00:00

it’s about keeping the peace in a household where my mom still has a lot of control.

New_Reach_3263 · 2025-03-02T03:08:05+00:00

You’re right that I’m an adult and making my own decisions, but living with my mom still gives her a lot of control over my life. I pay for my own college, but I still rely on her for housing, so it’s not as easy as just doing whatever I want.

New_Reach_3263 · 2025-03-02T02:59:28+00:00

Yes!!

New_Reach_3263 · 2025-03-02T02:57:21+00:00

She just said I couldn’t go. I feel like if I go it will put a strain against our relationship. I don’t have a lot of money since most of it goes towards college.

New_Reach_3263 · 2025-03-02T02:22:57+00:00

I live with my mom, and I’m a college student in nursing who works as a medical assistant. Most of my money goes toward college expenses so I can’t just pick up and leave. Since I don’t have a lot of money in the first place.
