When you socionically supervise a parent

[Bethanyclaire]

I ‘supervise’ my mother. But it feels like the other way round sometimes. She tells me what to do a lot, it comes off as aggressive. It wasn’t an easy relationship growing up but could have been worse I suppose. Maybe part of this is just average parent/child dynamic. Or more to do with personal issues. She dropped out of school quite young.

I feel bad to say stuff about her on here. But anyway- I felt quite threatened by possible horrible things she’d say to me as child, which she would do during arguments. This stuck with me and caused problems later. A therapist once told me she should have apologised after saying these things (if she did I don’t really remember it).

In other ways she was/is a good parent. But the bad things stood out more I guess (as a kid). With other supervisees (friends) I seem to have quite good relationships. My mum is also my my dad’s supervisor.
