Nothing has changed!

Called her earlier. We talked about different things that had happened in the past week. Offered to take her clothes shopping tomorrow, but she declined as it was too short notice. Fair enough!

Then she started on the usual subject. I knew what was coming because it was again everything my brother is doing for her. She wants to know reason why I hardly contact her, calling me cruel. We've gone over this so many times but still she won't grasp the reason why I've distanced myself. As I said to my aunt earlier, this won't be consigned to history, Sad to say I was right.

I've been talked over when trying to explain that her behaviour is unacceptable. She called me a liar when I said that she wanted me to apologise for sister-in-law's actions. Still cannot give me an adequate explanation to her standard comment "you're not showing me any compassion in this instance". Then the avoidance of substantiating that statement, instead saying I should know what she means. I may have been taught many things at school/college but clairvoyancy wasn't on the curriculum!

Back to square one. My aunt's view is to try, which I have done. My mother will not face up to the reality that she has a closed mind where I am concerned and thinks that by constantly repeating herself, she will eventually grind me down
