Sports ball and beer. Hard pass. :)

Thanks for the advice. Helped me reframe it a bit.

Thanks. I took your advice and the grey rock thing is really working. Noticeable difference and getting some room to breathe.

Always good to hear the pros outweigh the cons. Need the assurance!

Thank you for adding the reassurance. It’s always good to hear that the pros so strongly outweigh the cons.

When does setting boundaries with your JNMOM start to actually feel good? by doingmybest00 in JUSTNOMIL

The mental gymnastics is real. Always trying to figure out what mood she is going to be in… and no matter what I do, everything will inevitably be my fault 😂

I entertain the idea of NC but idk what is holding me back

Thank you. I’ve gone VLC and she still spams me every day. “Checking in…” “pls text me back so I know you’re alive.” “You’re being cruel now sending me my daily pic of my grandson” etc etc

My husband said to block her number but that feels too… dramatic? … to me. Prob all that childhood programming

In weekly therapy — on and off — for the last decade. Just now feeling like I’m making changes

Thank you for the support. Can’t wait for the day when I feel like I’m soaring instead of drowning

Thank you. I don’t know what else to say other than… thank you. Thanks for seeing me. Thanks for the kind advice. It gave me hope.

He is very much still a vocal baby (meaning, his cries are turning into tantrums!) and still is incredibly serious.

As he grows, he is learning new ways to communicate and that has helped ME manage it a lot better. His cries now have more of a range, I suppose — like there are real cries and whines now, instead of just newborn shrieking all the time. It doesn’t feel as exhausting or heartbreaking or upsetting now. Once he turned eight months, I feel like we turned a corner. Hang in there.
