    I checked the r/neoliberal redditor’s history. it’s like they are doing a bit.

    In another thread - somebody asked for advice because they were having disagreements with their mother about taking vacation to Iceland together. The redditor’s reply includes words like “rapprochement” which I guess makes sense if you look at your mother not a person who loves you but like a country that has no friends - only interests.

    Disingenuously attending a vacation is part of the problem. You should be going on a vacation out of your own volition, because you want to. To do otherwise, under false and resentful pretenses, isn’t fair to you or to your mother, and is only exacerbating the problem at hand.

    You should have fixed the problem and wiped the slate clean before you scheduled any vacation. Tiptoeing around real rapprochement and reckoning is only a temporary false band aid. You should be striving, especially with people close to you, to have authentic relationships. Even if this vacation miraculously makes you closer to your mother and fortifies the relationship, it has set an unhealthy precedent for dealing with conflicts in the future.

    As far as evaluating your boundaries that’s kind of impossible for anyone judge without knowing the specific original problem, i.e., the reason for the boundaries in the first place.
