[quote=Anonymous]What you're describing is just straight up resentment. My experience is similar. At the end of the day, I know my mom loves me and I love her, but I'm realizing she's got some mental health issues that will never be addressed because of who she is, and I use that as my justification for keeping my distance. She also isn't local, so that helps. I encourage her relationship with my kids as long as it stays healthy/I can manage it. They're toddlers now, but the minute I sense that it's heading down a toxic path or it's interfering with my own relationship with my kids (e.g. too much unsolicited/harmful advice, not respecting me in front of or to them, etc), I'll shut it down until they're old enough to sustain it without me.
