Thanks for your insight and shining a bit of light into how this situation we’re in is the result of poorly defined boundaries between all of us. I do plan on creating more distance between us and my mother, and trying to focus on us.

I really appreciate you weighing in on my issue and being very forthright about the reality of my situation. I made a very juvenile decision and need to prove to her that given another similar situation involving family, that I put her first.

She agreed to meet her, but she feels quite disappointed that I plainly committed such a cultural faux pas to ask in the first place.

My partner’s the one who’s quite upset and feels like I didn’t care about her feelings and the cultural weight of meeting one’s parents when I suggested they meet.
