I honestly think she does it because she doesn't know any other way to be nice and does feel guilty about how she's treated me. I really do think she means well and doesn't know how to show it any other way. Unfortunately, it's a little too late and I'd rather her just be nicer rather than buy me stuff. Moving forward, I know to censor even more stuff I tell her and get some distance. It's unfortunate that it's come to this, and I'm sure she won't realize why I've distanced myself. Always someone else's fault. I wish I could be like that! I always blame myself!
