OMG, it is SO HARD not to fall back into the patterns that feed the toxic conversations. I'm at a point where I am not even sure what I can say to my mother, there's so much on the verboten list. It's like any contact is just her ranting and complaining and me ignoring it and changing the subject as best as I can.
