I have had to learn to keep a distance and only see her briefly.
But, no, emotional people don't annoy me. In my job I deal with very emotional people and I am very good with them. I feel for them and try to ease their stress the best I can.

Sorry to hear about your mom. Does she have a histrionic or narcissistic personality disorder? It sounds like she does have one or the other. My mom kind of sounds like your mom at times! My mom is better than she used to be, but god, she is a huge nag, and she seems to have the worst ADD ever. She is always saying HUH?
And I have to repeat myself constantly to get an answer. She tends to pause for a very, very, long time before giving an answer like she's spacing out, ugh! She can talk and talk, and interrupt me just to talk more, ugh! And when I ask her a direct question, she'll talk about an entirely different thing! So like you, I have to avoid her as much as I can for the sake of my sanity. All she does is complain and criticize me and everyone else most of the time, ugh!
You sound like a caring and empathetic person. I wish that more people were like you!
