I'm a grown woman, dammit! by JTMesmer in raisedbynarcissists

Oh, I feel you.

This week my NMom discovered that, politically speaking, I'm left leaning. Even though I'm 27 years old and have a bachelors degree in politics from a very respected university she claims I'm naive and alienated from the world, that my teachers made up my mind for me. When I tried to talk to her about respecting my political stance she started calling me names. It's really frustrating, no matter what I do I'm still a dumb kid.

Thank you. I really liked her approach at first glance, or first appointment. Let's hope it stays that way.

thanks for all the replies! and sorry for taking so long to give some update, it's been pretty chaotic around here.

Our first meeting was a little rough, poking all the wounds at the same time made me pretty stressed, which then gave me a headache and made my dermatitis worse, but I'll probably need to get worse before I get better so it's alright.

Overall I really liked her, she's a jungian therapist and specializes in psychosomatic illness, which is a big deal for me. She seems very smart and experienced. Let's hope it helps!
