My mother doesn't care, I feel like she's trying to hold me back

Telling someone to stop is essentially making a request. It’s not holding a boundary. Boundaries are what we control. They are not about changing or controlling others. Boundaries are about what we choose to let into our life and not. Ending the conversation when the person does not stop is holding a boundary.

Very interesting. I guess because I'm a respectful person to me someone saying "no" is the same as them setting a boundary. I also am rather new to boundaries so your comment is truly enlightening. This last time I simply stopped answering, and she hasn't written anymore. I know she will but for now I've muted her on my phone.

EDIT: and I'm sorry I forgot to write a big THANK YOU in there but Thank You!!!
