[quote=Anonymous]Don't engage. Don't bring this stuff up. Don't get into it if she brings it up. You still hope to convince her you are right. You will not succeed. You will be happier if you don't respond. That involves in a way grieving that your mother isn't the mother you deserve but once you get some distance you will feel kindlier towards her like she is the eccentric neighbor lady down the street. Because once you stop letting her push your buttons, it will be easier to empathize with her because it won't threaten your identity. Did this with my mom. Was hard but later it made a world of difference. Good luck, OP. I know what you're going through and it's hard![/quote]
