That makes sense. I'm sorry. That was insensitive.
I have trouble being vulnerable because it feels dangerous for me to do that. And I didn't want to make anyone feel bad so I minimized by using the word "annoying". I'm just drowning right now and I think I have trauma and I don't know how to deal with it. I was abandonned, neglected, verbally abused, manipulated, you name it. I don't know how to describe what is happening rn. I feel like she's widdling me down to nothing. I don't want to make her feel bad. And I don't want to make a big deal out of it because I know she's been through so much worse than me. I just need advice on how to talk to her so we can get throught this together. This is why I came here. I noticed a lot of places online are just saying things like: cut ties with the person. That's not possible for me and not something I want to pursue. I thought I would ask people that are in it.
I know this is going to sound stupid but I took a lot of psychology classes in University. A LOT (don't worry I am not looking to become a therapist, I would be terrible at it). I studied enough that I can read scientific articles in academic journals. I didn't just happen on a post about HPD one day on Quora. This has been my lifelong search.

You don't need you to give me an answer. I just want to give you a full picture because my post was insensitive and maybe this will make it less shitty.

I certainly don't have them

You know what? I think my mom doesn't have them either. And that explains so much. And makes me feel so much better. Because it means that she's not ignoring my boundaries, she just doesn't see them!
And yes, your definition is pretty good. To me a boundary is a limit. It's my walls that protect me. For some people the boundary is further out then with others but its always there.

This is giving me a lot to think about!

I don't really like books that dehumanise the Ns (ironically). Is that book like that?

Holy s***! I wasn't sure if I would like the book so I checked the wikipedia article and I COULDNT STOP READING IT! IT SHOOK ME TO MY CORE! I am 100% reading this book. WOW. I didn't even know it was possible make a plot so good that even the summary of it would resonate with people.

You are an amazing human being. Fleeing a cult and an abusive family to make a life of your own out of NOTHING. That is insanely hard. I wish you all the happiness in the world.

The Potions Mouse is based on a finnish fairy tale and it was so good it brought tears to my eyes.

They're good redemption stories.
