A woman has been with her partner for 14 years and they have two small children. She has a complicated relationship with her mother, who was a stern disciplinarian and is deeply sensitive and lacks social confidence. The woman's partner believes her mother doesn't think she is good enough and hasn't spoken to her in years. The mother offered financial help years ago but only if the woman separated from her partner. After a reconciliation, the mother threatened suicide if held responsible for the estrangement and now threatens to cut the woman out of her will if the estrangement continues. The woman is struggling with her mother's manipulation and considers walking away again. A psychotherapist suggests that there is a lack of separation in the relationship with her mother and that her mother is unable to take responsibility for her statements. The therapist advises the woman that her decision will be difficult, but it doesn't mean she's done the wrong thing. The article concludes that the mother is using her money to control her daughter and that the daughter should detach from the manipulation and walk away from her money. The article also provides helpline numbers for those struggling with suicidal thoughts.
