I was triggered by a response to a question that I asked of my sister. She lashed out at me verbally. Later, I called my mother and explained that I needed quiet space and that they couldn't visit until I was ready. Then, I called my sister to tell her the same information. The difficulty was when I was on the phone call with my mother. She didn't seem to understand the issues of being triggered. instead, she replied with how I struggled with "communication issues."
My mother has been aware of my traumatic experiences, yet I am encouraged that 'it's in the past' or to 'let it go.' I am at the initial stage of learning to set boundaries; so, any help is appreciated.
