HEY EVERYONE,I CONFESSED ABOUT MY ADDICTION TO MY MOM,but it Backfired

Sorry to hear this backfired, that really sucks :/

An off the wall thought for you, what if you agree to go to counseling on the conditions that she pays for it and that she goes with you. Seems a little crazy? Hear me out... when you are there, sitting with your mom and the psychologist, you say... “I have been trying to get out of a pornography addiction, one of the things that hinders me in this is feeling unloved. When I told my mom about my struggle, she rejected me and I don’t know how to cope with this. Can you talk to her for me?”

And then get up and leave the room (or stay if you feel it is beneficial) Hey, you may not need it, but it sounds like she might lol.

And an even crazier thought, maybe this would help you. I mean, you’re here asking for help in this thing. What’s the difference between us and a psychologist? Consider what you may hear if you ask a psychologist this question: “I don’t know how to deal with my mom about this, she is making me feel trapped...what do I do?” It’s pretty much what you asked us, so why not ask a professional?

The choice is yours, lots of ways to make things work. Hope you can get past this, cuz dealing with family stuff is really difficult :/ no shame needing help for that.

 

Lol was that you turning the tables?

 

I can turn tables so fast you’ll think the room is spinning

 

Lmao yeah listen to outsidetime, you got your head on straight, we know where you’re coming from here

 

you need tony robbins

 

Told my mom once, utterly hopeless, backfired in every possible way. not only did she not say anything, her usuall modus operandi everytime i seeked/seek emotional support or understanding, she also, as always, injected herself in to the talk making her the grand martyr she always has relied on in any kind of emotional crisis. Needless to say my state of despair and feeling of helplesness was complete afterwards.

And this was like over ten years ago.

 

Considering you are 20... I don't think your family can help you that much anyways... At this point, I think you should find a therapist. Don't be scard to speak up!

 

Same thing here..........it pains me deeply...but you donot have control over others....let them think what they want

 

It is very difficult for some women to imagine their son might even be masturbating, give her some time and she will move on but there is weight on you as well, since you've decided to come clean live up to your end of the deal, sooner you get a control over this the better it will be for you my friend.

 

I don't think it is any of her business. She would probably never understand the negative effects of porn or masturbation. Baby boomers are human fossils.

 

If she is in control of his mobile devices I think it is somehow her business, after all we know only what he told us.
