[quote=Anonymous]OP you can certainly try talking to her and discussing expectations. My mother is incapable of rational discussion, empathy, or self-awareness at this point and she total rewrote history/lies like a rug about how much/how little she did for her own parents and inlaws. So I have my boundaries. Period. if she uses any of her manipulation strategies I leave and skip visits. At one point she got really bad so I spelled out exactly what she does and if she cannot be appreciative then she should not expect any visits or calls. First sign of guilt trip I leave. It actually worked, but every single time she reverts back I leave or get off phone without apology. I now have a zero tolerance policy. We have so many stressful things going on in our lives right now that if she adds to it with this nonsense we cannot take another second. Too many years of her histrionics and verbal abuse.[/quote]
