Long story short - I recently went through an unhealthy relationship that made me decide to go into therapy. My mother and I have a lukewarm relationship - as in, we talk, we're friendly, but it's superficial. And I'm ok with that. Anyhow I finally told her I was in therapy and it was like the floodgates opened up. She said she was always worried I'd never be happy and she was so proud of me for getting into therapy. I. Hate. It. She keeps bringing it up in every fucking conversation we have. Just writing about it angers me. My birthday was recently and she wrote about me going to therapy IN MY BIRTHDAY CARD.

So you can see it angers me. I don't understand why my mother being supportive pisses me off so much. It's gotten to the point that I am avoiding any contact with her because I don't want to discuss it, and I know she does. Any ideas? I've run this by my therapist a few times and I am dissatisfied with her response - she simply encourages me to try to be more emotionally vulnerable with my mother, which right now is impossible.
