[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry that you're going through this. You do need to grieve the loss of your expectations, and then go about setting boundaries and changing your life to suit yourself and not catering to her tantrums and instability. I had to give my own mother a wake-up call a few years ago because she was so critical, constantly berating me for nothing, complaining because I worked outside the home, criticizing my parenting decisions, etc. I took my kids and moved 1,100 miles away one day without telling her I was leaving. (Had everything planned out ahead of time). I had no contact with her for 6 months, and she had no contact with my kids. When I came back, she was a totally different person. We now have a great relationship. She learned not to mess with me, because I don't play around. [/quote]
