I'm not sure if anyone can help- but I just want to feel comforted. But, my mom is extremely into politics/conspiracies and wants to always force it onto everyone and always denies that she does. I'm 21 and live with my husband in my families house with both my 10+ yrs old older brothers that I cant really get into as to why im back living with my family but its basically cause I had no where else to go so ive been here since Feb 2020. This is my eldest half brother's house who is 37, and my mom is enabling him since he went into jail for being an alcoholic and domestic abuse towards his ex wife and my 2 nieces. So my mom has enabled ever since then and thought it would be a GREAT idea to have everyone live with him so he gets back on track from Marijuana and Drinking and that it's a bigger house so she too will be happier-- Boy was she W R O N G and doesn't even realize it. I have recently found out that I am a people pleaser and need to have more boundaries. So I started to do so, so just 2 days ago I woke up after having recurring dreams of speaking up for myself towards everyone so I went to have lunch and mom asks " how're you doing? " I told her I am no okay- I am Irritated. She then forced a hug onto me and asked if I wanted to go eat with her & my dad. I firmly said "No" So basically let me just say (I would go into detail but my messsage is too long already) that I got really upset and angry and told her she doesn't even know the real me and I will NEVER believe what she believes in. She then proceeded to hope I feel guilty for what I've done and slammed the front door while she left with my dad. mind you- she has done this my whole life. My Husband is currently working so we can hopefully get out of this place so I can cut ties. I'm just curious if anyone else is going though anything similar or has any advice? This is really hard on my mentality so anything is appreciated.

I wish that I could do so much more... but they credit me with convincing them to get a therapist, get on anxiety and depression medication, and pursue an autism diagnosis, and that's the greatest personal achievement of my life. Once I convinced them to get a counselor and meds our other best friend in the trio realized defying her mother who is very anti-modern medicine would be ok doing the same. I didnt mean to brag, sorry for the ramble. I just care about them so much and you got me thinking about it.

Not me but my best friend is going through something very similar to this. Their mother is into all sorts of crazy things and talks about it/incorporates it into her life to the point that my friend is too anxious to go vote because what they think is really bad is what their mother thinks is evil incarnate. Theres a ton of other problems too that I've been able to identify as narcissistic parenting abuse. Whenever my friend tries to say how they're feeling their mother either breaks down into tears sobbing about how she is a terrible mother or gets mad and goes on about how she raised and supported them their whole life and this isnt how they should pay it back. Never anything about improving or changing. She is very transphobic and it harms my friend so much. But they arent in a financial situation to go anywhere else while school isnt in and they arent dorming halfway across the country. I'd take them in to live with me in a heartbeat, as well as our other best friend/their girlfriend, but this guilt chain their mother has wrapped around them is too real. I dont have much advice because I'm not going through it and my friend isnt handling it the best. They did attempt to bring both them and their mother into a therapy session-like couple therapy but for mother and daughter instead. Nothing came of it for them but maybe for you? But you're definitely not alone. The sad thing is even when my friend is at college the trauma and stress of their mother is still nearly suffocating. I hope you can get away and heal soon, know that none of this is your fault.
@Mop thanks so much for your input- knowing that I'm not alone is enough for me. I'm so happy to see that you are really good friend to them and understand them š
