[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP back with an update. I left yesterday. I could no longer deal with the silent treatment with subtle insults thrown at me, and the sarcasm, and the manipulation, and the not so subtle insults. I know leaving is going to cause her to stay very mad and hold a grudge, but I couldn’t take it anymore. Thanks again for all of the kind and supportive posts. You all gave me a lot to think about. But I really do appreciate the kindness, it is so hard to deal with people like my mom, and the kindness really helped yesterday. Thanks.[/quote]

Another PP that is really proud of you. FYI, we can be touchstones for you, you know? Remind you that this is disordered thinking, and that you are not bad for not participating in it.

Please remember that you can create a new norm with these boundaries. The first time is the hardest. It's normal to feel shaky doing it. The next couple of times are usually hard, too. But after that, it's often accepted, and it just is -- you don't have to keep justifying it. As much as possible, just be calm and matter of fact, and above all, consistent.

You can do this. You really can.[/quote]
