"My mother has been manipulating me all my life. How do I defend my boundaries?"The key to the inner separation from your parents is awareness.
Try to turn on your inner observer and, before you swallow your mother's bait, tell yourself to stop. Then you have a choice: to react as usual or not to be manipulated. How to proceed, you need to sort out in each situation.
Sense of guilt and violated boundaries formed not one day, and to change everything quickly will not work.
If a parent is unwilling to acknowledge that his or her child has grown up, and does not respect his or her decisions and life in general, then it is his or her "fault. It is the parent's responsibility how to respond to the child's actions: with heart drops and an ambulance call or by saying, "I accept your choice. It's your life."
The good news is that it is possible to separate emotionally from parents at any age, the main thing is to start working on it.
