My mother accused me of refusing to teach her to drive when I was sixteen. I didn't even have a driver's license until I was nineteen. People can say all sorts of hurtful things. It's best to let those things roll off of you like water off a duck. Even if what they say is true, it still doesn't matter, because you have to look at the whose mouth the words are coming out of.

Honestly, if you were in a restaurant and you saw someone just like you getting berated by someone just like her, would you take it personally? If not, then try to apply the same thing here. This isn't about you and her. It's about her. So let it be about her. Act like you witnessed this, rather than you participated in this. It seems to me there's no real lesson in this for you, except don't take her seriously. It sounds like she needs help that she will never get.

Thanks for reading and responding to my novel! lol. You're right about what you said. She is very disturbed and she will never get the help that she so desperately needs. I'm a sensitive person, and she knows that. She thinks that I'm weak for being sensitive.

I'm afraid that the answer is clear, I just have to cut her out of my life for good this time like I should've done a long time ago. Especially after she hit me that one time just for bringing up some stuff that she didn't like about her b.f getting arrested for identity theft and me questioning her involvement in it. She told me that she wasn't involved, but I'll never know for sure if she was or not. It doesn't really matter now.
