[quote=Anonymous]I live with mine so it is really difficult. A turning point years ago was realizing that she will never change, and there is nothing I can do to make her kinder to me. So I am as kind to her as possible and also spend as much time away as possible. And most of all, try not to feel that any of this is my fault. It’s hard because she knows how to push my buttons, but it doesn’t hurt as much as it did before. My own family (spouse and children) commiserate with me and that is very helpful. I read these forums and people are always trying to get away from their “toxic” parents, but I am sure some of you understand that it is not always possible, and filial piety and family obligations are sacred values to me.
