She has been dealing with her son, age 22, becoming an addict. She is always angry at me, does not want me to talk, does not answer my emails, does not want to call me anymore, will not answer her phone, has been very rude and disrespectful. I don't know what I did wrong! I am clueless. It could be that I may have told her I have clinical depression and anxiety issues and am not bipolar. She seems to want me to have bipolar disorder and be mentally ill and apologize to her all the time for being so broken. I have discovered I'm not that broken and I have changed; I am much stronger. I have so much love and support to give her. She seems to not be able to handle this or believe anything I say. I am NOT the cause of her son becoming an addict! She acts like I am! Is this common?

She is my only child and her son my only grandchild. I am alone in this.

What can one do to improve a situation like this? Leave her alone until she may need me and approach me? I'm sick of being treated like crap and being disrespected and begging for her communication. I've really had it with her behavior towards me, but it almost kills me. It makes my anxiety and depression so much worse. I am right now just trying to take good care of myself, physically and mentally. I welcome any tips on how to deal with this.
