[quote=Anonymous]My mother is currently on week 3 or 4 of ignoring me.  I didn't send her another check to bail her out of her financial mess - she will not even try to get a job but also is too proud to get government help.   She was pretending she was fine with it but now is back to ignoring.

Once she told me that she 'hopes I get cancer so that I know what it is like' after a relative did.  That was a breaking point for me emotionally.  When I go home and she tries to be sweet, I cringe a little but feel no warmth.  She used to make me cry in dressing rooms with her criticism and tried to make problems with my husband.

My childhood was full of explosive fights and screaming.  The weekends were awful.  She'd scream about how messy the house was like a crazy bansee.

Now I'm married to someone calm and we have a calm house, right down to a calm toddler!

My mother is a nasty person.  I remember being newly employed as a law clerk and she was telling me I could afford a 10k bedroom set or a 5k wedding dress - she wants to enable bad choices.

My sister listens to her unfortunately and has already quit two jobs, leaving her resume damaged because in my mom's world view if you're stressed at work they are "abusing you."

UGH.  [/quote]
