As someone who taught art to kids (off and on)
I've got another perspective I'd like to share with you.
Some mothers can't handle it that their daughter
has something
that she can't get in on.
Now ...
you're going to these meetings
and maybe they're making a change in you
and your mom sees that.
SO she tries to wheedle herself into it somehow.
and if she can't do that -
she diminishes the separate experience.
Remember that we're codies
because of what we learned beginning with our first breath.
And our first relationships.
I doubt anything was said.
Maybe MANIPULATED out of this other woman
and repeated after getting a negative twist...
but it's achieved its intended purpose either way
you've lost a bit of trust.
Now think .. who would want you NOT to trust your members?
Like I say -
I've seen this before.
Just another perspective is all.
