[QUOTE="Lookingforthelight, post: 682858"] Somewhere, thank you for your insight. I feel sick as I read it because I can play back scenarios and see this behavior. Princess would come home from sessions and look at me with sympathy on her face and say "mom, I understand your cup is very full. And I can't imagine how hard it must be to see your daughter grow up and have to let go. But I'm fine, and it'll be easier if we let go together". She has actually said this more than once to me. Barf. So, in other words, her sessions were about ME and MY issues. So when I tell her I'm letting go, she freaks out! She wants me to let go of disciplining her, having boundaries, holding her accountable. What she doesn't want me to let go of is me being a punching bag and her bank machine. My husband has complained for 6 months about her therapist! "She always comes home arrogant with an inflated ego". Do you think I've listened? Nope. Trust the process I say...boy how wrong I was.
