Thank you .Me too. This last year has put me through the wringer.

I ended up blocking her since she sent me more similar messages. I realized that a little while back she was annoyed because I wasn't responding to her posts as well. She really just has to have all the attention on her. My mom exhibits a lot of attention-seeking behavior, and has narcissistic tendencies, as does a lot of her family. I really hate that type of behavior and refuse to give into it. Then she sent me a nasty message through my website about how my life is off track and she was "just trying to help". So I had to block that too.

She only resumed regular contact after seeing a post about how I had quit my job. I really think this was intentional. Like she saw I was vulnerable and wanted to lord over me how great her career and her life is compared to mine. I guess she needs to feel superior.

Plus, I remembered that once she got a job and left the place where she had worked with me. She basically shunned me and a few other co-workers because she thought the work she was doing was better than our jobs. I had nearly forgotten that incicent. She then approached me about letting bygones be bygones and I let her back in. Big mistake!

I feel such a relief now that I did that.
