[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it weren't for your siblings, I would say completely cut her out of your life. She's toxic to you. I would work on strengthening your relationship with the siblings, because it's very likely things with your mom will crumble. You want to maintain a connection with them.

Expect nothing from your mother. It will only lead to dissappointment.

Let go of all your resentment towards her. You never had and never will have the mother you deserve. It sucks. I want to punch your mom for you on that. But there is nothing you can do to change that and you can't let it damage you any more than it has.

Make a promise to yourself that you will be better. You will break the cycle. Find maternal role models from another source. Appreciate the love that is in your life in other ways (like your boyfriend).

I'm sorry, OP. It's amazing to me how much power individual people can have over the lives of others. And some people just fucking suck. [/quote]

Op here- thank you. I've tried to have somewhat of a relationship with her for my siblings sake but I'm just to my breaking point. I'm pretty close with my siblings even though they are so much younger then me. I just cannot continue to have her in my life. I go see a therapist weekly and I've talked to him about my relationship with my mother and even he thinks it would be best to cut ties. I already know that when I have my own children, I want to be nothing like her. Luckily my boyfriend is amazing and supports me 100% on what I decide to do as he sees the way she treats me. [/quote]
