[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

My mother is toxic and has been for years. Some days she is more human than others. So no, this isn't a case of me overreacting, it was more of the last straw this week.

We never stormed out. We left calmly And, the fact she knew it was about the previous morning proves she knows she was hateful and expects me to just put up with it.

And again. 240 calories, people. My husband was running with the car keys or I'd have had other options, but we were nearing the end and groceries were scarce (I'd have preferred eggs myself). [/quote]

Good luck, Op. You have to do what is best for you going forward. Those of us who are around toxic parents/in-laws understood from your posts that it wasn't about the waffles, it was about your relationship with your mom. My MIL is also toxic and it has been painful to watch my DH and she interact over the past 20 years. My DH cut off all communication from her for a few years and she still doesn't understand why (she is the perfect mother in her mind). We now live halfway across the country so the limited communication works for him. My children, however, see right through her and want very little to do with her when we visit our hometown. They see how she treats their father (favors their aunt) and really don't want to spend a lot of time with her. It's her loss and it will be your mom's as well.[/quote]
