[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your mom is so self-absorbed that she can't really do or perceive except through a kind of filter, so she sees you and interacts with you through a fog of thinking about herself and what she likes and feels. I'm sorry. That's a tough kind of mom to have. Mine is like that. [/quote] This. Op, I’m sorry. Perhaps your energy is better spent grieving the mom you would have liked to have had. Make peace with this. Let the disappointment go and figure out how to focus on the ways you do enjoy her. With the gift giving, you can simply stop giving suggestions and sending links. Just say, “Mom, it’s important to you to pick out what you want. So do it. If I/we can use it, I/we will. And if not, we’ll pass it along to someone who can. Can you pass the green beans, please?”[/quote]
