My fiance and I are trying to embark on a life of our own, but I can’t move ahead because I’m constantly worrying about her.
I love her, and she will always be my mother, but I can’t keep this up or I will never be able to live my life. What should I do?It may take the help of a licensed mental health professional to separate emotionally from your mother. She has not only turned you into HER parent, she appears to be in denial about two things -- her parental abilities and her drinking. You cannot resolve these issues for her.
You and your fiance should ABSOLUTELY start concentrating on the life you are trying to build together, and do it as geographically distant from her as you can manage. This is called “emancipation,” and do not expect her to like you for doing it.My husband and I attended a party at the home of one of my co-workers. There were about 15 guests. The problem was the homeowner’s pets -- two dogs that live inside. The dogs were allowed to roam freely during the party.
They barked each time a guest knocked or rang the doorbell and jumped on each person who entered. They hovered at people’s feet waiting for food to drop or to be given to them. It felt like we were expected to pet the animals and interact with them whether we wanted to or not. The homeowner made no attempt to control the dogs or keep them away from any of the guests.
I don’t dislike animals, but I don’t want other people’s pets jumping on my clothes, trying to lick me or getting close to my food. Two large wire kennels were visible along a front hallway, which I assume are used during the day while the homeowner is away at work. What would have been the polite way to ask my co-worker to put the dogs in their kennels or out in the garage while the guests were eating?To an animal lover, a pet is a member of the family.
