Thank you. *hugs* It really helps to know I'm not alone in this.
Worst thing you can do is close yourself off
It probably is, but back when I was a kid it seemed like the only way to protect my sanity. She was so overwhelming, I needed to put up barricades to keep my sense of self from dissolving, lol. And she only made those barricades stronger by trying to take them down by force. It will take a hell of a lot for me to demolish that stronghold... but I'm slowly beginning to realize that maybe it's worth the effort after all. Maybe. Anyway... what you said made a lot of sense, and I will file it for future reference.:)
