Hey guys,

my best mate and me share a lot of things in common. Most of them time I have an awesome time hanging out with him. There is this side of him that sometimes surfaces. He tries to intimidate me with this one topic. I have problems with standing up for my Mom. She is slightly odd and every now and then he picks on me for being incomfortable with her. I really do not like it, but up until recently I did not try to do anything about it. I am still very beta, so it is not very easy, especially since I never set up boundaries.

So today whe asked me about what I am going to do on my birthday. Something with "Mommy"? This really triggered me, I did not reply so far.

My beta-self somehow is trying to tell me I am not capable of replying "Mommy?". I never stood up for myself on this topic, so it feels a little odd.

What do you guys think?
