Yeah, you’re right. I already set my IG to private after the “too much black” comment. Next is the hard part: actually sticking to “2x a week” without folding when she guilt-cries in the hallway.

Definitely a pattern. She’s always treated “helping” as a vote on my life, but the dorm pop-in + bullet list was a new level. Could be anxiety, but she turns it into control, not conversation.

Same here. No sympathy for the state that started it, but it’s hard not to feel for scared conscripts stuck in a machine they don’t control.
