This one is challenging because we are so connected with our mothers and they are our first authority figure. It is important to know that this is such a common issue and that everything is not all your fault. It is a cycle of abuse that has prevailed in society for generations. You have a voice and the right to be yourself and to have different experiences and views from your parents. You have the right to be who you want to be and to be treated with respect. When your mother does this she is not treating you with the respect you deserve. Navigating this issue with parents can take a lot of time and steadfastness because we love our parents and while they love us they are not perfect. It can take years to be able to set boundaries with parents do that they treat us with respect. This is a generational issue and the generation gap is real. In order to survive and thrive within our current generation one needs to be able to set and maintain boundaries so that they are treated with respect and to focus on developing self compassion love and care. While dealing with this from parents is such a common issue there are also many people who are wanting to support others as they go through this. Know that it is not in any way your fault and that you are not alone. You are doing a great job just in dealing support with this and developing a broad support network is an important step. Remember to breath.
