[quote=Anonymous]I can see why you feel bad. I sense some jealousy over your child not being the favorite. Maybe it was good to be left alone when your daughter was sick, but seems mean to have to open the presents alone. Sounds like your mother is trying to impress the other relatives and sees you as low status. Your mom sounds like a superficial status seeker who gets embarrassed by low status people. I bet your mother has low self esteem and wanted to live vicariously through you and thinks you didn't live up to your (her) potential. That's her problem, not yours. Don't take it personally. Either speak your mind to your mother when she's being unfair, limit how much time you spend together, or just say to yourself "here she goes again" and don't take it personally. [/quote]
