Hey! I'm new here. This was oddly comforting to read because it's EXACTLY how my mother acts and has acted to varying degrees my entire life. I also only live about 15 minutes away from my parents and brother who all live together in a horrifically codependent imbalanced state. I'm working on contacting them as little as possible but unfortunately I only moved out 4 months ago and there are still some things of mine at their house, including my dog. Almost every time I go there I have a panic attack and leave enraged and in tears.
I can appreciate your situation and how it makes you feel. Hopefully, knowing that even one person can relate to your experience will make you not feel so alone or crazy as it has for me. Thank you and please be kind to yourself.
