The irony for me was that ... I thought I was independent ... but in fact I was a dreadful people pleaser and was not aware til recently.

Hey @Judi9877

I can relate very much to what you wrote.
I get scared of a confrontation or fight. So I agree. This is the case with my controlling and manipulative mum. I’m sure she’s a narcissist.

Hello @BlueBay , @Faith-and-Hope , @Appleblossom , @Judi9877 , @Dimity , @Zoe7

We got through morning tea celebrations this morning with 8 of us around the table on the patio, no aircon but had 2 standup fans going full blast

After a few left after morning tea

The rest of us (5) of us went into mum's room with the aircon on

Sometimes it is tricky trying to please everyone all at the same time which you can not do but all you can do is your best

My cousin complained the most , and she left after saying happy birthday but that is ok

Think my mind went into overthinking too much about today beforehand

@Shaz51 I'm glad it went so well. Your family is very lucky to have you as a peacemaker and chief celebrant of family occasions. Please take that as a huge positive. It's too easy to doubt yourself and be negative about what makes you different when it might be in fact your greatest gift.
