This sounds surprisingly lovely given the awful stressful circumstances which precipitated it Hope today was more normal for you

How awful Mkac,-I didn't realize that your mother lives next door! Considering that proximity and the description of your mother, I don't know how you hold it together. You definitely know how to make the best out of a bad situation. The fire pit dinner sounds great!

An emotional boundary would work too.

So your mother thinks everything on the planet is your fault also? I'm so sorry.

Our electricity was not turned back on until 10:45 last night. My son spent the evening with his girlfriend's family because they always have power and food. And they are nicer than us. Double He said he was joking around, but I wasn't up to much joking last night. My daughter was totally cool. We built a fire in the fire pit and cooked over the grill on the fire. We hung out and talked. Then I took a hot bath by candlelight (luckily our hot water heater runs on propane).

Thanks for all of the support here. And thanks for not asking me why I posted. Sometimes I want to kick my therapist in the shins.
You made something salvagable out of a sucky day. Good for you!
Only the shins?? Go for the gold!
Yes my mother blames me for Vietnam.

Trying to somehow mentally prepare to see the extended family at the funeral tomorrow. It's so overwhelming, knowing that my mother and sister have been spreading lies and telling everyone what an awful person I am. Just feeling so sick and sad and exhausted.

If you want this to get better it needs to be done, and it CAN be done.

Some people don't respect boundaries.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
