Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 From one to another - ((((((hugs)))))) thanks everyone Thanks everyone for repsonding to my " what to do " Very very helpful. I set my boundaries, after two days of attitude at work and huffing and puffing and slamming things down, my mum left work again early saying she really wasn't in the mood to be as flexible as I'd like her to be, she's leaving. (?) I e mailed her saying it seemed she was very angry at me, small work space with other people and clients is probably not the best space for this. Take a few days, mum, to feel better and when you're ready, come back and I'll have plenty of tasks for you to help with (she complains there's not enough work for her to do) - which is because I rack my brains creating it for her. I mailed her that I loved her heart and soul. I'm sorry she's hurting about my brother and my niece. there are some issues that need to be addressed between us all. I understand and will honour the fact that she does not want to hear what they are or ever want to address them (she's told me she would rather die) but in turn it makes it difficult to bridge certain gaps in connection with each other.... She showed up minutes later and starting verbally attacking me with the same old sh@# that I've always heard...won't bore you with it now. on and on how selfish, cold, patronizing, etc I am. I had so say....shhhhh please, there are clients in the rooms, lets take this outside......so we did...please stop it mum, calm down etc. she's saying Who do you think you are? I'm leaving for good, I should never have had children, I should know better than to trust you and your brother, you're all nuts. I had to go in to see a client and she sat on the stairs wailing and crying...like a wounded broken little child. My e-mail apparently was the most disgusting thing she ever read and grounds for never seeing me again....why do you want to hurt me ? Why why? Why are you so cruel? Well folks, my heart split in half hearing my mother's cries on the frot step of my center, but I went inside and worked on my client. She's been callng my husband and my borther saying I don't understand! I'm so loving and compassionate and giving and gentle - everyone tramples all over me like I'm dirt. I've had enough, I shall be victim no longer, Im going to cut everyone out of my life. Oh dear god in heaven. Exhaustion today and a little too much wine last night for me. Problems?

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Tanbuzzca, that sounds like ALOT of work. Good for you on holding your ground. My nada typically tells me I'm selfish, cruel and condescending when I set a boundary or make a request--can definitely understand your pain. It was FAR worse when I started than it is now, because I kind of did a double whammy where I'd 1.) make a reasonable request or set a limit and 2.) walk out and refuse to deal with her when she was raging, being abusive and screaming. It may sound ugly, but you might consider setting a boundary where you do not allow her to come to work or stay at work when she is behaving that way--just refuse to deal with her at those times. That probably sounds like a HUGE step, but I personally have realized that some of the steps I've taken successfully once seemed huge at first. Whatever you do, good luck.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I agree about the doctors and also the people working with SSDI. Lots of hugs and kisses to everyone.

I think we need more doctors who truly care, like the people in this group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
