Dear Poppy,

For now, it is best you focus on establishing yourself and growing emotionally strong. This means working towards establishing boundaries, growing career wise which is something you have mentioned in other posts too. Since it is not possible for you to have a physical distance from your mom till april, it would be helpful if you has awareness about your own emotions when she launches into her jibes about you.

The emotions that you feel then are important to observe. When she makes a comment about you, how do you feel in particular? If you could give words to the emotions, what would they be?

Has she ever praised you and why do you feel like she doesn’t see you at par with the other siblings?

Regards
Nina
