[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do less for her. You will never make her happy so stop trying. You and your kids matter more than she does. You have been abused by her and seem codependent now. A therapist can help you break free and set boundaries. [/quote] This. Op I related to so many parts of your post. I had an epiphany when I burned out…I can do backflips for her and she will hate me and not appreciate it or I can do a fraction of that, focus on my kids and spouse and she will hate me and not appreciate what little I do. I stepped back and chose my sanity. I also do not permit rage fits and I take longer breaks with each one. Not healthy for her or for me. She is well cared for by strangers. I make sure she has decent care. It can’t come from me. Too much risk I will finally rage right back and I refuse to become like that.[/quote]
