I have a very difficult mother (she's toxic) and she's probably undiagnosed depressed. We got into a big fight a month ago and I wasn't speaking to her for that time. Finally I did reach out and she made me apologize for what I said. I did regret instigating so I did apologize. However, she never apologized for anything she said. Whatever, I let it go. I was planning to visit my parents this weekend, and then I get an email from my mother talking about how if I say anything critical or negative when I'm home she will ask me to leave immediately, because she's worked very hard to make the house peaceful (side note- she is always talking about having 'peace' in the house which is bizarre she's making such a big deal about it). After that email, I decided not to go home and told her I wasn't feeling well so I wasn't sure if I would make it. I was so angry that she is allowed to say whatever rude thing to me and I have to sit there and take it. So pissed off. I have always been close to my mother but it came to a head recently bc she doesn't like the guy I'm dating. And I just realized that the constant side digs and criticisms are getting to be too much.
