Yay. So glad to hear this news.

Please do not rug-sweep this. They hurt you and that is not ok. I'm glad the lines of communication are opening up, but their behavior was not ok. Your mental state is just as important to your recovery as your treatments are.

[livinitup]

I heard it! That was them?

Yeah, stop expecting your mom to be anything but extreme with you and your needs. Pace yourself.

[sonrisa]

GOOD. It's about time. The all or nothing, stewing to hovering, sounds fun 

[cville]

I'm glad to hear this! You just keep your boundaries wherever you need them to be.

[Marle]

I find all this very normal. This is not easy for anyone dovey. They love you and have no experience with dealing with this.

Hopefully things will start balancing.
Hugs

I am glad they have made progress. I hope they are able to give you what you need and I hope your expectations are realistic. Your emotional well-being is so important right now.

I agree about the emotional thing. To me, the physical symptomsob are nothing compared to the mind fuck of emotions this is dragging me thru.

I'm so appreciative of you guys. You are seriously keeping me sane on days I just want to break down

[Deleted]

I'm relieved for you that they came around, like I legit just let out a woosh of air. Parents. They drive us BONKERS sometimes!

[murdock]

Boundaries are a two way street, but I am happy to read that they are attempting to be there for you.

Lord knows, you deserve it.

[tdk2]

I'm very glad they did. Hopefully you guys can find a happy middle man


This doesn't help, but reading this thread- the thought just occurred to me. Maybe they were trying to process and they were having a hard time talking to family who started calling them. Which still isn't a valid reason because this is happening to you and YOU get to choose what and how much is scared so YOU get support, but still, perhaps that factored in. STILL that doesn't matter, you should have had reassurances from your mom. And hugs.

I think of you a ton.
