>No, Kiddo, that certainly wasn't what I meant to imply to you by telling you about my Mom-Issues. There's no hierarchy of suffering, as I am overly fond of pointing out. There's just good enough, and not good enough. You and I and others here apparently had not good enough.
I think what you wrote in this post, about thinking your friends might be backing off because you've learned some of your mother's behaviors might fit with what I've been trying to say to you all along: you can choose not to react blindly, you can learn more adaptive coping skills, you do have control over certain things in your life. You're not helpless. You're certainly smart enough to learn new coping strategies, and I think you are maybe starting to see the potential benefits of doing so.
Best luck to you. I really mean that.
