"That's not the way I taught you to spell Hanukah." And on and on. There was always a problem with whatever card, whatever gift. So in my early 20's, I just ... stopped. Nothing was good enough, so why put in the effort or money? It was like I was paying to get criticized.

So I get it, OP. Maybe next year you can send her a birthday text in the AM? Baby steps!

I had to laugh at the bolded. Me too. People with normal moms will never understand. You spend time and money to do something nice and in the end it's another opportunity for her to criticize and tear you down. May as well not bother. The ones to say to call obviously don't know how that goes.

Lol, such a troll response.

No I am not a troll. Sorry. Plenty of people deal with family members they don't like or get along with. Do you think other people live in an episode of a TV show? Is that how they manage it? No, they do not. Be a better person. There is nothing else.

Like the PP said: Troll.

Go away.

Barring physical abuse, I agree this is a really low bar. Probably makes your mom feel worse.

So the verbal abuse does not count?

Please let us know your address so we can send you our screaming, paranoid, gaslighting untreated relatives…you know, since you don’t mind.

You would not last ten minutes.

My mother did this with cooking so I never cooked. Same with cleaning pans and plates. Never good enough. So I ate less just to not have to hear her yelling about the kitchen. She would rewash any plate or pan you had just cleaned.

I barely weighed 100 lbs in late high school.

She would then yell at me for not eating. Honestly, I was too stressed from the yelling and screaming.

If you texted HBD, that was kind of you, OP.

I take care of my mother’s affairs now even though she abused me for years…And my sibling has become abusive…

You would jump off a bridge if someone stood up to you about the horrible way you treated them? Interesting.

Don’t waste your time with that loser. They spend all their time online obsessively pouring poison out to people who just want to vent a bit. I suspect they’re really young and have no friends. Or they’re really old and have no friends. Common denominator is that they just post hatred mostly towards women on every post. Also they have a weak grasp of English.
