[quote=Anonymous]This describes my mother. Felt like sh- my entire dang life because of her. I actually went no contact about a year ago. It wasn’t an easy decision, she’s my mother after all, but she’s so incredibly toxic for me.  Like pouring poison on a plant so that it won’t grow. Since no contact, I noticed I no longer have that tight feeling in my chest (anxiety) or in the pit of my stomach (dread). I notice that I make good decisions and that other people do like me and respect me.  I realized I don’t need her or any of her mind-warping commentary.  I feel a little pity for people like your husband and my mother, who feel they need to wield some power over their loved ones in order to feel better about themselves, but they are too cowardly to do it directly, so they do it indirectly.  I hope you have the strength someday soon to decide to leave. It is highly unlikely someone like this will ever change.  He’s supposed to be part of your support system. Instead he’s bringing you down so much that you need a support system from your support system!  You deserve better than that.
