I have a family member who is hypercritical of my every step (I don't cook right, clean right, my job sucks, I spend too much money on clothes, I'm selfish, I drive badly, I'm noisy, what became of me, I'm no good.,)
I spend time with this person only because this person is older (not feeble) & I feel guilty.
I recently (after being prescribed antidepressants/anti anxiety & advice of my MD) started only writing brief letters to this person. No private contact, only in stores, lunch etc in public. No phones, etc.
It feels SOOOOOOO much better & I just noticed this past week my migraines have disappeared!
Also my MD says my anxiety is much better & he will taper down the dose.
So, I think I've answered my own question, but, does this mean I've made the right decision to not see this person?
It's kind of weird, when I (due to family obligation) have to spend time in this person's house, I just leave little notes around, no speaking. It seems to work. Is this wrong
