I can relate to this post on so many levels.My mother invited herself for Thanksgiving this year.I had a terrible weekend, between her and my husband.I decided that this Christmas, I am staying home, for a peaceful day alone.
My mother has a domineering and controlling personality.I think she is getting worse as she gets older. She treats me like a child, but for the first time in my life, I didn't feel like one.If anything, I am just feeling really angry today.I thought that this time would be different, but know that I have to accept the way she is if I want to keep her in my life.I just know that I will never put myself through that again.The next time, I am "just saying no."
