But ARGH moms are usually the best, but also sometimes the worst. <br /><br />thank you :)Kayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07637653451031426942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753685376168608657.post-29194597417442096122014-12-15T22:08:15.149-05:002014-12-15T22:08:15.149-05:00Re: the moms comments on boyfriendness-- is it pos...Re: the moms comments on boyfriendness-- is it possible she's just (failing at) trying to say that she wishes things were easier for you/better for you? Not to justify/excuse that kinda invalidating talk, but it's something my parents are prone to-- a kinda, look on the bright side, pull yourself up by the bootstraps, you should really be nicer or no one will ever marry you-- weirdness. It helps me to acknowledge that they want me to be happy, and they just don't understand.<br /><br />Doing consistently well is HUGE, and you have so much to be proud of.JShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01730134189350353270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753685376168608657.post-32495567690595810282014-12-15T19:22:09.150-05:002014-12-15T19:22:09.150-05:00Thank you - I think you're quite a rock star t...Thank you - I think you're quite a rock star too! I did mention the obsessions to Dr. P last week, and she seemed slightly surprised (I guess I don't bring it up that much??) and basically said, "if these thoughts are that prevalent for you then we need to be talking about them every week." So, it looks like that is on the horizon.Kayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07637653451031426942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753685376168608657.post-34356095273808244662014-12-15T16:29:13.475-05:002014-12-15T16:29:13.475-05:00Sounds like a frustrating conversation with your m...Sounds like a frustrating conversation with your mom, and probably at a stressful time when it just added to other feelings. I'm really sorry. I think parents sometimes don't get how those kinds of comments come across, or that maybe you're insanely busy with other things. In any case, I think you're a rockstar for how well you're doing. It sucks that the obsessions are pretty constant. I hope those ease soon. Does Dr. P have any thoughts on that? <br /><br />I'm sorry she isn't able to acknowledge all of your hard work, perseverance, and resilience. If it helps, I think you've been doing awesome. I'm really sorry you're feeling hurt and that there's some distance between you and your mom right now. Hang in there.Aliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10715046132281175549noreply@blogger.com
