[quote=Anonymous]My mother lived a charmed life and felt she deserved it and earned it. She has said and done so many hurtful things as I navigate raising one child with SN and one who is typically developing. When life suddenly started throwing challenges her way she couldn't cope and leaned on me a lot and desperate to win her approval I was there for her. She didn't appreciate it at all and over time I became her verbal punching bag. I finally decided enough was enough. My focus was on the family I created, my job, my friends and helping my child with SN reach full potential. I had no time for the BS anymore. I maintain a cordial and distant relationship. When she is cruel I step back. Sure I feel resentment still now and then, but remind myself of my priorities and goals and all I do is punish myself if I let resentment fester. I force myself to march forward and save my energy and thoughts for those who matter most.[/quote]
