[quote=Anonymous]Therapy and/or an SSRI for you? I'm serious -- she sounds like a lot, and you're having to deal with her in ways that are very stressful for you. A good therapist can help you work through your experiences and feelings and practice scenarios in which you set your boundaries about how she may and may not treat you. Being your mother doesn't give her the right to treat you badly. There's also the natural consequences of not visiting her as much since it sounds like the visits are horrible. Again, she may be your mother, but you aren't her garbage can to unload all her garbage into. [/quote]
