Everyone has a limit even with family, I feel guilty too, but I try my best to remember that it’s okay to feel tired after hanging out with family, socializing, no matter with who, is tiring, and we all have our limits, they may even change day by day, hour by hour, but again, that’s completely okay. The fact you are spending time with your mom is enough.

very much so. my family is especially draining because i have 11 siblings. i try and have energy for them, but ultimately have to get away from them by having alone time and less things happening around me. my mom didn’t always understand this, but over time, the more i’ve communicated about it, the more she understands and tries to make space for me! her reassurance helps me feel less guilt:)

Childhood Trauma here, I don’t feel any guilt. I would enjoy our time together if they treat/ed me better.
