My mom (47F) always vents to me about EVERYTHING in her life. I (18F) tell her the truth when she’s just venting sometimes because she says things like I don’t want to talk to xyz but talks to them and answers calls. Basically had no strong boundaries. Recently we’ve been having mad issues with that because as I get older I don’t want to hear about toxic relationships if ur not going to do a damn thing about it especially when it’s someone Disrespecting MY MOTHER. Shit is hard to hear about. So just now, she was telling me about a friend that treated her like shit reaching out to her and she was complaining about not wanting to talk to him and I said for someone who says they don’t want to talk u keep contacting him right back. She says I just want to vent right now I don’t need a response basically. And I say that’s what a therapist is for because she TELLS ME ABOUT everythingggggg and shit is a continuous cycle. She literally views me as her therapist most times. She got mad of course… am I the asshole.. we both vent to each other most of the time but I don’t tell her everything. She feels like because I’m all she has I basically just have to listen to her talk about everything.
