[quote=Anonymous]I’m really disturbed by my mother and how she acts. It’s getting to the point that I’m left wondering if it’s healthy to even have her in my life. I have a kids and husband and don’t really want to expose them to this toxic behavior. She has a very greedy side. My brother passed away very suddenly and tragically this month and I understand she is in shock, but she hasn’t cried at all and is obsessive about finding out if he has a life insurance policy and keeps talking about the money he owes her. She is always so focused on money, it disgusts me. She’s sized everyone up by how much money they have and I found out she was asking my siblings how much my husband made. We are deliberately quiet about our finances.

She has always mocked people with differences, especially physical or intellectual. I had anxiety in my pregnancies that my children would have any sort of health or developmental issue because she can be so negative and cruel about things like this. My 2 year old was in speech therapy and I found out she was telling family in a gossipy way that he had an intellectual disability (using the incorrect non PC term) to describe him. It’s not even accurate but it disturbs me that she seems to find pleasure or excitement or humor in other’s challenges. He’s actually caught up now. Would you address any of this with her? [/quote]
