WAW and the law of attraction

[FormelyknownasF]

Not sure what do you mean.

My mom is reaching that conclusion because she's not buying the "we are going through a rough patch".

In her mind if we are separated, it had to be something much bigger than
just a rough patch. And she's right but I'm not telling her anything about my
W's infidelity.

But the point here - and that's something my therapist helped me clarify - my mother thinks that my marriage's failure is her failure as a mother. Plus, as her father betrayed her own family, it's obvious that her instinct is to see the W as the victim and the husband as the perpetrator (even if he is her own son). The only way she can feel better is by controlling the situation and "fixing it". Without full disclosure, she feels powerless and is pushing hard for me to reveal details.

I won't, I don't need to validate myself with my mom. There's a lesson for her in this too: trust and respect.

Anyway, I don't intend for this to become about me and my mother. Those are issues that have been there for awhile and I'm addressing them in therapy.

Just be absolutely sure, Mr McQueen, I've been entirely honest in this forum. I have no reason to lie to you guys. Ever since I started posting in here I've been using this writing exercise as a catharsis. Some times even revealing more than I needed to. Lying in here, would be lying to no one else but myself.
