Mom, I can't deal with your problems when I can't deal with my own. Please seek help, I'm not a therapist. Talking about Dad and the abuse we suffered triggers me, please, I have PTSD- I'm in hell right now, I barely have energy to eat. Stop making me feel guilty for not wanting to speak with you about it, it's not fair.

Blocking
Why do so many guys block? If we have an issue I like to talk about, if we have an argument they immediately go to the blocking! Not even an unfriend! Guys have...

have you ever felt that way?
Why i am not good enough?, why don’t i feel beautiful when i look in the mirror?, i just can’t stand people when they say that i’m not perfect, or no one...
That is not your problem and no she doesn't need to talk to you about it. That is too stressful for adults let alone having your child carry that burden too. You shouldn't feel guilty either. Her problems she's having doesn't involve you and damn you shouldn't be brought into it. That's just me though. Yes I have kids and no my problems are not rolled off into them. They've got their own stuff they are dealing with. I help them with their issues not the other way around.

ReplyI agree with you. It is hard to take care of others when you are struggling to take care of yourself. If possible, maybe find her a good therapist so she could begin to get that sorted out. I know it is not your problem... but we get one mother and maybe she comes to you because she trusts you the most. Let her know it is okay to trust professionals.
God bless you and your mother and I wish you the best of luck.
ReplyTry to tell her that you have to figure yourself out first. If that doesn't work just stop listening and say filler words like "Yeah", "Ok", and "I understand" etc. Worry about yourself first, you're not a bad person for not wanting to trigger your PTSD. I have PTSD too for similar reasons, but my mother does not. Whenever she tries to talk to me about it I kindly tell her I can't yet. Hopefully this helps. Good luck
ReplyI don't think she means to harm you, she just doesn't know how you're feeling. It's probably easier for her to vent to someone who understands, but she should also be considerate of you. You should talk with her, and tell her how you feel. You're both on the same side.
