From the bottom of my heart

I am glad that your starting to get heard. @Jenna

I did not want to open my mother-sister issue in your last thread but hoped others would respond ... but a similar long term issue happened to me ...its around in my posts ... somewhere.

I have a big issue with people who use possession in relationships to manipulate others.

I am super sensitive to it ... whether it be gender or parental or even just friendship related ... and think it is far more destructive than many give it credit ... eg ...can be worse than slaps or obvious violence ... it is a form of violence ... violating people's (usually family) rights to free and open communication or communion. ...

Obviously, your mother has not been able to empathise or find compassion for you in your struggles and bottom-line ... young adulthood ... are tough times.

Go well .. think clearly about your goals and needs.
