I have made a concious decision to sever ties with my mother. I began by alerting her she has ruined my life with all her negativity and verbal abuse, then I went on all expense paid vacation with her and other relatives, she did not address anything.....just demands on details of my life....tell me where you are applying etc etc...always absent emotionally though...she has not called me either in this week since the vacation...she also commited financial abuse towards me.....taking all my disability money as payee.....watching me starve with no help or care that I was starving..etc etc...whenever I am involved with a man...telling me he feels nothing for me that _I am stalking him......that men pay attention to me because there was simply no one else there...when she heard I was getting an earned tax income credit..tried to insist I WOULD NOT get it....just answers even compliments with demands..if you tell her you like her car...it's "CARS ARE NOT EVERYTHING!"...if you say something that doesn't 100% make sense...she will attack you verbally...if you are her new nieghbor who brings me home 1/2 hour late....she will HATE her new nieghbor as the 'late type..' if you ever had bad credit at any point in your life...she'll hate you....(she is an accountant) shows no remorse for telling me my whole life I would amount to nothing...

I feel good and very good for this past week of not talking to her..

...............................I think at this point I will not look back...

How have others come to a decision to sever ties with their own mother? It seems many were physically abused and that is probably much worse.......but I have not found anyone else from a rich snobby background that could not take it?!
