Hi,

I do believe that is part of the problem. To be honest, I had an overbearing mother and had some of the same issues with her while trying to exhalt my independence. For some reason, that seemed way easier. I am very attached to this individual. So much in fact that he’s able to easily manipulate me in regard to fear to where it’s no good! I really think that I internalize the feelings and therefore just submit. It’s happening right now. I’m supposed to move this weekend and he hasn’t budged to do anything to get himself together. It’s sad really. The main problem is my inability to make others uncomfortable. I think this stems from a deep rooted fear of authority and avoiding disappointing others and how it’s shaped my life. (overbearing, but loving mother). I do feel comfortable and safe with this person, but miserable at the same time.
