Georgie* and her mum have struggled with boundaries since she was little.
"We fought frequently as a child. [She'd do] things like making me change my outfits and hair so I looked like 'somebody owned me'," the 37-year-old from NSW recalls.
As an adult, Georgie says her mum now crosses boundaries by undermining how she parents her own children.
"I moved home in 2013 after the separation from an abusive relationship — to whom I had two children — and she would parent over the top of me."
