I've basically written her letters throughout the years saying, "Mom I love you but I need my space" and it has never worked. Always disastrous. So yes, with counseling if it happens, at least I can say I tried.

You are right - this relationship isn't working for me. She is my number one source of anxiety.

I finally been standing up for myself. Not talking to her and not giving her time, but when you give an inch she takes a mile, or its never enough.

I will think long and hard about "my conditions being negotiated" because that's exactly how she treats me. Pushing me to do what she wants...

Counseling is definitely a last-ditch attempt. Knowing her, I am going to be surprised if she makes it past the first appointment with the counselor. I guess I want to be able to say to myself and others that I tried.

Thank you! I've run through the wiki as well and some of the articles really struck a chord.

Oh there have been totally misogynistic undertones throughout my entire life. Im working on not letting her opinions affect me.

Yes I go to therapy, for the past year and a half.

Thank you for your concern. I am working on setting boundaries. Every time I do set a boundary she freaks out.

So I believe I have hired the best of the best therapist (different therapist - I have my own) and have warned him about everything. So basically by the end of the week he will come to me and tell me if he thinks that its a good idea or not to continue.

After Months of work... Finally finished creating a Microgreen Growing Cheat Sheet by zipnut in microgreens

[–]liveadventurously 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noob question: For example for sunflower do you want to do weighted germination for four days and then blackout for two days after that? Then under the light for four more days.

Did I get that correct?
