[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: My mother is the exact way. I, unfortunately, have to tell the people who answer the phones at my office that my mother is mentally ill and I will not accept calls from her. Furthermore, I instruct them to hang up on her.[/quote]

I'm so sorry! Would you mind sharing your story? I'm surprised someone else has dealt with this. -OP[/quote]

I'm procrastinating so I'll share more starting with adulthood:

When I was 18 I had about 500 dollars in the bank...money I saved working in fast food. My mother tried to take that money out of my account! Bank said no.
on multiple occasions between 18 and 21 she tried to open credit cards in my name.
Obviously she was mentally and physically abusive to me throughout my childhood. The last time she hit me I was 23. 23!!! I should have called the police then but when she hit me and I was 17, they said there was nothing I could do about it. (a southern state...)

FF to nowish. when expecting my first child, my mom was terribly abusive to me during a visit. Upon return home (here), she left a horrible voice mail. Husband said that he didn't want (unborn) child seeing his mother treated this way and now it was no longer about me; it was about our family. I cut her off that day. I remember it clearly.

I told her that she had to get healthy, stop being abusive and X and  Y (both family members ) had to separately tell me that she was on the mend before I would communicate with her.  I worry that my mom could easily destroy my reputation. She's crazy enough tho that I think it  no longer possible. Furthermore, she's really poor so I'm not sure she can get her to bother my kids.[/quote]
