A couple different counselors told me to stay away from her and not to talk to her, but she's my mom.

If the relationship is toxic, it is okay to stop communicating with her (shared blood or not). But only you know what's best for you. My mom is an energy sucker (emotional vampire) too. She is also manipulative and knows where all my buttons are and how to push them. She even tried to make "finding out" (I have reason to believe she already knew) that I was molested by my father as a child about her. I barely speak to her anymore. It gets to a point that you're just drained and enough is enough. I hope things get better for you
