Hi CM's,
I need you recommendations for a great counsellor please. My close friends and my husband have told me for a long time now that my Mum is emotionally abusive towards me. It has been something I've not been able to recognise, until now I have my own daughter. To this day she is still abusive towards me, we both live in Canberra and I am really struggling now to work out what, if any, relationship I want to have with her. And I need help to regain my self-esteem and confidence. I want to believe my friends and my husband when they tell me I'm terrific and capable of anything, but I don't because I have my Mum's voice in my head. And I certainly don't want to tread the same road with my daughter. Of course I don't want to cut my Mum off either, not that she shows any genuine interest in me or the kids, but she's still my Mum. Thanks.
