[quote=Anonymous]I can relate and it’s very lonely, although I know there are many people who come from dysfunctional families. My mom’s family is messy and dramatic: everyone has plenty of money, but everyone is miserable. My mom, her siblings, and her parents get into dramatic squabbles constantly. I’ve determined that they’re more interested in being in conflict than having peace, which seems exhausting! In any case, I just don’t engage. I’ll talk to my mom on the phone about once a week, and if she brings up the drama, I’ll tell her I’m not the person to talk to about that. Mom was also extraordinarily abusive to me throughout my younger years. Although she likes to paint a sunny picture of the past, this is not reality. So I really have no guilt about seeing her only when and where are convenient to me and my family. I will not share a residence with her anymore, and I will not use PTO on her anymore. [/quote]
