ick. she sounds like a pain. and rather familiar... are you sure we aren't related? seriously though, kd, i'm sorry that your mother is being manipulative. her cruel barbs about your father were totally out of line. i hope that she will back off and just limit her conversation to your nephew as you have asked her although she seems to have issues with boundaries. you're doing the only thing that i can think to do though, which is set the boundaries by limiting contact and conversation, i just wish she weren't trying to push the issue.
(((((((((((((((kd)))))))))))))))
i am wishing happier times for you in the future. if you ever wanna talk, feel free to PM me.
