Your Mom reminds me of mine. A cousin just told me that she(my Mom) was embarrassed that I'm mentally ill. Why can't she say it to my face? She was a LARGE contributor to my first breakdown at 19. Treated me like crap all of my life. Her most recent games are to have told me that my Aunts', her sisters, don't want to talk to me because I mention my mental problems. She left out the fact that I only talk about them if asked about them. I called to verify if what she said was true&to apologize if I'd made them uncomfortable&they both said they'd never said that.
When I visited her last, she FORBADE me to mention that I'm on disability because I'm mentally ill to her bf. He has 2 very successful children&one that my Mom used to badmouth but now can't compliment enough. The last one, her bf's youngest daughter got chased out of her Dad's house by my Mom who insisted that besides this girl holding down 2 part time jobs, should be the maid&the cook for the household-exact same cr*p she pulled on me.
Michah, does your Mom compliment your siblings while berating or ignoring you?
Also, my Mom called me on Christmas Day to tell me how much she & her bf liked the gifts I gave them for Christmas. Then she told me she'd be sending off MY package some time in the next week. Haven't heard a peep out of her since Christmas Day. No card, no presents(Which she demands&expects from me when I live on $8000 a year.)and NO THANK YOU's. I've had it! I'm "divorcing" her too. She even had the audacity to say I wasn't doing my share in my household even though I pay the property taxes each year($2100), do all of the housework&give my bf the money I normally would have spent on drugs that I applied to get for free because I couldn't afford them&I buy all toiletries&home remedies. If that's not doing something on $8000, I don't know what is.
Michah, if you're Mom keeps it up-shut her up&out.
