Dear Deilla, The way your mother is, I believe, is coming from psychological injuries of her own, possibly from her own childhood. You have so many talents, your art, your writing, music, etc., I suspect she is a bit jealous of you & feels like a 'left out' child, like you're outdoing her. I was thinking, if you want to keep her in your life, maybe pretend you're her mother & regard her as if she were your child? Maybe try that as an experiment & see what kinds of results you end up with? Anyway, you are a very special person to many of us, & it's too sad to know your mother is treating you so unlovingly! You are loved here by your friends in your MSF family.
