Reply To: Enmeshed with a Toxic Mother

Wow. I think this is way beyond the scope of what an online forum can help with. Normally I’d suggest therapy, but you are already in it. I don’t disagree at all with your therapist that your relationship with your abusive mom — who probably has underlying mental health issues — is unhealthy, problematic, and not good for you. I’d suggest listening to your therapist, who is not overreacting.
