My MIL is an atheist and supposed feminist, and she told her daughter the same stupid thing when she was being beaten/raped by her husband. The sister told my husband and he was like “get out right now, divorce his ass, if you want to press charges we support you.” Was so proud of him. The sister is divorced now and…

I definately agree. My mom sees me as an extension of herself who will always owe her and be in debt to her.

I know I’m arm-chairing here, but my mother is a narcissist and there’s so many signs to me that your mom is too, along with other issues. The clear lack of boundaries, the asking of highly instrusive questions about your sex life and over concern about your health shows that she does not view you as an autonomous…

No snark. Is your mom unmedicated mentally ill? I ask because I have a friend who’s mom is and she does very similar creepy stuff when she’s not medicated. Also, I cannot imagine any psychologist siding with someone about an invasion of privacy such as this. Where did she find this “professional?”

Yeah, my mom is also a narcissist. She started taking me to a shrink at age 10. Was also alternately convinced I was being attacked by demons. I’m 36 now and finally cut her off for good when I confronted her about the rape I endured at age 15 which she blamed me for. She responded by telling me I had made the whole…

She is. Hearing that stupidity out loud made her realize that she had to just leave. And now she has a safe and happy life. But for months I fantasied about hitting that horrible psychologist and asking her if prayer would make her feel better.

Apparently her psychologist failed the course on empathy.

My mother-in-law is a psychologist and tries to ask me and her son about our sex life. She also sends us articles regarding libido. So TLDR: I assume my MIL is the psychologist your mom contacted. My apologies.

Oh wait! I haven’t told you guys the funniest part. I work as a phone sex operator and when my mom found out she called me a slut and now she wants to quit her job and have me show her how to be a phone sex operator. That is how insane my mother is. That shows you the level of crazy I deal with.

Oh no I was there for the first meeting. I stopped going though and wasn't there when they talked about metals and vaccines so you could be right

Your mother sounds like an unreliable narrator, and perhaps the psychologist didn’t agree with her at all and that’s what she went on to tell you because she warps things in her mind to fit. Either way she needs help and you need to look out for yourself.

So, she found a psychologist from the Jenny McCarthy School of Fraudulent Science and Stupidity?

Have you considered reporting the psychologist to his/her professional society? Maybe your mother fabricated this and the shrink said no such thing, but if s/he did, a licensing body should be involved.

She also told me that a sexual harassment case at work was my fault because she thought I slept with the man harrassing me(I didn't, she just got it in her head and won't get it out). It's insanely frustrating because she thinks she's the normal one and everyone else is crazy. She can't get along with most people…

Honestly, it sounds like her psychologist is crazier than she is and (s)he is enabling her BIG FUCKING TIME. Jesus, good on you for moving out.

WAT. Was it like, she went to the psychologist, and they told her something that she interpreted as them siding with her? Or did the psychologist call you and say, “Yo, tell your mom about your sex life.”??

Yeah my mom is insane. I was working one night and she called the resteraunt and said there was a family emergency and when I got home it turned out she just found the condoms under my bed and demanded to know if I was pregnant. She also thinks I’m the crazy one and wanted me to go to a doctor to get tested to see if…

You need to do what’s best for you. If you can’t deal with it right now, then tough titties for her. You can’t be her emotional support for everything.

The thing that really stuck out to me is that she doesn’t know what her daughter’s schedule is or when she is in class, which is really easy info to find out if you are interested in someone’s life. You might even think that an involved mom would want to know what classes her daughter was taking during her first…

Just because it’s semi on topic. My mom called me while I was taking a shower just now and I feel terrible, but I can’t call her back. She is doing something for her mom, so she will bitch about that and I am mid trying to control a panic attack. I can barely handle my mom bitching about her mom when I am feeling…
