Dear Anita,

It is kind of like a drug.

So you believe that keeping a relationship with my mother prevents me from developing more healthy relationships? I do not understand why they cannot co-exist. Maybe because keeping a link with her makes me unable to fully see everything that is wrong with this relationship, therefore making me less discerning in my relationships more generally?

Thank you for your congratulations. You really helped a lot. I needed someone to present things clearly to me. 🙂
