Frankly I'm sick of it. I've tried telling her to back off, and other things. Doesn't help. Nothing changes, gets worse.

She wants me to come over today to help her but because she's so awful to me I'd rather not. Therapists think i need to cut her out of my life she's toxic, but she's always been there for me. She is my mother. But she calls me names all the time, and they aren't even true of me but she uses them to manipulate me into doing stuff for her.

I really think she needs therapy to get over the traumas of her childhood and learn to be a better person. She calls her Grandkids names too, my brother corrects her so she leaves rather than deal with the fact she's out of line. She's really a mean person.

She compared me to the daughters she gave up for adoption who turned out well, married well, etc. I said because you didn't raise them. She didn't know what I meant by that but she has been cruel and because of her cruelness I've suffered.
