Second of all, it doesn’t matter if your mom is a psychologist; she has NO RIGHT to have ANY say in who you talk to about your mental health, and the fact that she’s even insinuating that she does seems really controlling! That decision isn’t any of her business!
Lemi4’s personal comment:
Sometimes parents do the most evil, destructive things in the name of helping their adult offsprings. Sometimes because they refuse to see their ‘sweet little children’ as anything other than their ‘precious little angels they must protect’. Sometimes they fear they will become irrelevant in our lives.
Neither of these two are anything they should worry about. Our parents will forever remain our parents, and their children will forever remain their children. They can never ever become totally irrelevant in our lives, everything we have experienced together will remain within us forever deep in our hearts. All the good parts and all the bad parts.
Parents fear. Children too. Especially when we’ve made mistakes. And we always do.
Gotta learn to forgive ourselves & each other.
Or, failing that, to forgive ourselves and then put distance from each other. [As a last resort; because this will cause lingering pain that can never completely go away.]
