The Guilt Tripping
I told them my son and I need structure and don’t need them with us all the time, I want to spend time with him just me and him cause at the end of the day its really just me and him.
My mom yelled at me telling me its like I’m implying they will die soon and then went on a dramatic tirade that I’m a bad mother for keeping him away from his grandparents (they normally triangulate me and my son from each other)
In all honesty I do not feel like a parent when I’m around them so spending just me and my son together gives me that sense of I’m “Mom” and I love it. When we’re with them I constantly am I demeaned, my rules are overruled and my son is just a brat around them.
Now she texts me “Tell xxx we love him” and I’m sure this is another guilt trip tactic.
