[quote=Anonymous]Sorry for the length......
My mother divorced my father when I was 10 after she had an affair.  I went to live with my father and another sibling in another state and my mother kept my oldest sibling.  That sibling turned out to drop out of high school, until she moved in with my father and graduated.  Then my mother convinced her to move back and my sister became pregnant, and an alcoholic who is a waitress.  I never saw my mother again except for when my father would visit his family in my mother's state and I would go to her home.  My mother never showed any interest in my life and would only call to complain about my sister.  I had enough when I was about 20+ years old and visiting my father's family and my mother wouldn't drive the 50 minute drive to see me despite it being years since we had been together.  Flash forward 10 + years and my mother began calling after the birth of my first child.  She shows no real interest in my child, but uses it as a segway to launch into her problems.  She has never visited in the almost 3 years since her birth.  The final straw was on my birthday when my mother left me a message blaming me for not being supportive to my sister's daughter (because I disapprove of her dropping out of college).  I am just angry and wondering why I have to talk to her when I get nothing out of it.  It makes my skin crawl when she tells me she loves me, because it is just her way of trying to gloss over the fact that she wanted nothing to do with me when she was in her prime and to busy chasing after men to be a parent.[/quote]
