Childhood trauma can be exacerbated by an overprotective mother. These children have the potential to develop into oversensitive adults who are afraid of the world. They become overly concerned with everything and are less likely to learn from their mistakes. To what extent is this phenomenon harmful? Such parents are more likely to invade their child’s privacy later in life. They have trust issues that are hidden behind declarations of love and care.

Overconsoling your child and constantly reminding him/her of dangers are common symptoms of broken boundaries. Even in safe environments, check in on the child on a regular basis. Obsession and a need for attention are two other characteristics of domineering mothers. A woman on Reddit shared her experience with such an incident. In 2017, she texted her mother and stepfather to wish them a happy wedding anniversary.

The daughter was unable to deliver a gift five states away due to working 10-12 hour shifts. Later that day, she decided to rest and silence her phone while her husband ran errands. After only a few hours, the daughter heard a knock and greeted welfare-check police officers. They told her about her mother’s concern. When she checked her phone, she discovered several angry voicemails.

When the daughter finally called, she discovered that her mother was simply upset about a gift. She was not concerned about her well-being, but rather wished her well. The woman was taken aback by her mother’s misguided expectations. Be grateful she lives far away. My parents couldn’t reach me at home one Saturday afternoon because I was suffering from a headache and trying to sleep it away.

They called five times in three hours before driving to my house and using their key to gain entry because they thought I was dead. They couldn’t understand why I was upset about it. After that, I didn’t talk to them for a while. Do you believe the mother was toxic, whereas the daughter was reasonable? Or perhaps the woman should have known the extent of her mother’s insanity?
