Hi I am new here and forgot to list relationship and family as a concern in my profile....actually my profile has a bit of my stuff there... I too had to cut off my mom as did my sibblings she was lying all the time to one of us about the other and trying to play us off she did it for years and years, until one day she got caught and we all agreed that we wouldn't play her game and we were happy sibblings again, now when she tries to start anything the first thing we do is resend her message to the next so that she can't deny what she does, but she still ends up being the one to hurt us the most. she goes through other family to do it and then it get worse. So i took a stand about 10mths ago and told her enough of the b/s and when she really needed help and was legitimately sick with proof call me until then i have no more to say to you. she claimed to be dying of cancer, then something else, but i was power of attornery at the time which she changes monthly, and the Dr said right in front of me you don't have cancer your a diabetic, and she said you do now anything I don't have diabetis and i do have cancer and left the hospital. all of us sibblings know she has a mental health problem and have tried to help her get the help she needs but no it is not that, we are the ones that are stupid and not listening to her short of it after 20yrs of this on and off I had enough. You did the right thing and hang in there it hard but if that parent is as my sis in law says toxic stay away cause they will suck you in and hurt you more. My real name is Joanne. my friends call me Jo I don't get on my laptop to much as i have health issues that get in the way at times, breathing, heart, and I am a cancer survivor of 5yrs so far..... take care and hope to chat again.
