[quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone, my mom is 68 and yes she talks to herself and pretty much curses my dad, her dad etc. on a daily basis. Last few years as i have become assertive after having a family life myself, i stand up to her and dont buy in everything she says. She likely resents this as she has been very controlling and i have been submissive as a child and teen and till 25, basically agreeing with whatever she said. Past 1 year I have been limiting calls etc, but she can easily call 5+ times a day right at 9 am or in the middle of the work day and she expects me to drop everything and talk to her. And i *have* to send money by 5th of every other month.
Either ways i was always a sucker for her sob stories and helplessness and once i left and saw more of the world, i understand her selfishness, but hearing it first hand a day before childbirth and surgery is really hard.

I am sure she will downplay everything she said, or come up with a great justification for it and expect me to have a relationship again and be the bad person. I just hope i am strong enough and have enough self respect to resist, especially against her show of helplessness and martyrdom.

Thank you for your kind words.[/quote]
