[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do I just write my family off?

My mother thinks my marriage ended due to affair - FALSE. Not even close
My father is trying to reach out to me as much as possible behind my moms back but is publicly "siding with mother"
My brother is the "saint child" and cannot do anything wrong ever. His kids are the shit to my mother.
My kids amazing kids are mine, so she is basically not paying any attention to them.

I explained to her the situation with my marriage ending.  She flat out said "I don't believe in divorce, and I don't believe that women should be friends with men outside of the marriage"

So here I am, divorced, living my life, taking care of my kids. Do I just say "fuck it" and move on or do I keep trying to "prove myself" to my mother???

Doesn't have to be all or nothing. You can (1) tell her you do not want to discuss your divorce with her and then enforce (including hanging up the phone if she brings it up); or (2) gold cold turkey for a while, but not necessarily forever (unless you want it to be).[/quote]
