It feels like she isn’t really my “mother” but someone who thinks we’re best friends. It’s like she never really grew out of her high school days — and I’m almost 30.
I know she has been through a lot, so it’s not that I want to ignore her. I don’t know what to say because I don’t know how to talk to this person anymore.: You are not going to change your mother. She is who she is — needy, emotionally immature and determined to depend on you. You can, however, change the way you react to her.Another is to tell her you are not comfortable being her interior decorator and she should find someone with more time to spend with her.
The duration of a call is usually 45 minutes to an hour. But because every few minutes there’s a total reset of what we discuss, my friend seems to think I’m ending the phone call after just a couple of minutes. She doesn’t remember we’ve been saying the same things over and over.Asking Eric: I’m not living there anymore, so why should I pay rent?
