You regularly overstep your boundaries to meet your mom's needs and wants.
You take the blame for conflict your mom caused.
You avoid necessary conversations to protect your mom from getting upset or feeling uncomfortable.
You organize your day/life around your mom's schedule, needs, and/or wants.
You filter who you communicate with based off of what your mom thinks of them.
You make excuses for your mom when others point out how much the relationship seems to be impacting you, even though you know they're right.
