[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother will pout, use this whiny, tearful voice, and when that doesn’t work, she goes full silent. In the past when this happened, she would have suicidal ideations, which would cause us to, regrettably, run to her and cater to her whims. She was in therapy and was honestly getting better, but has started up with her old behaviors again.

Currently in the middle of a silent treatment. I’m worried she might hurt herself, though she’s given no indication. I’m also not playing her game, nor will I. We ended with my text and her non response. I know she’s mad, and that’s ok!

So how to I stand my ground while also not being a horrible daughter. I feel like I need to check in with her while simultaneously feeling like I don’t: if she wants to pout and be isolated and miserable, that’s on her.

Anyone experience this and how do you cope?[/quote]

My mom is the same although she doesn't say she will kill herself.  I am enjoying the peace and realize that I don't need to be a "good" daughter.  Nothing was good enough.  I took her to Ireland and she complained that I was too fat.  So she decided she didn't want to talk to me or see me ever again because I will be fat.

Our moms are mentally ill.  Mine is narcissist and I highly doubt she ever loved me at all.  Wishing you peace[/quote]
