[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My mother used to be verbally abusive and controlling but loves me dearly, so my situation is different from yours. I did cut her off for 6 months following a particularly offensive diatribe and certain cruel decisions she made regarding my family. My husband, who thinks my mother is mentally ill, persuaded me to renew contact. She has been much more aware of boundaries since then and we have a good relationship now. [/quote] Similar here. My mother was a milder version of OP's mother. She did something really hurtful when I was pregnant, during a very challenging and stressful pregnancy. I cut her off for 6 months and that was like a mini reset button. OP you will know when it's time to cut her off. It's hard to tell without understanding the whole dynamic. But I suggest that you become much more assertive with her and slowly distance yourself - you'll get a feel for what feels right for you. [/quote]
