[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One question: why do you still spend time with her?  I'm asking earnestly, not to be snarky.[/quote]

Because she's my mom, and if I didn't, no one else would.  :(  Oh, wait, except her sister, who she also treats crappy.  I think she has some sort of personality disorder?  And I don't think she'd learn to be nicer if I rejected her, either.  She'd just feel more persecuted than she already does.  [/quote]

Well not seeing her wouldn't be about teaching her a lesson on how to be nice.  It'd be an act of self-care.  You are allowed to say that you won't tolerate people being mean to you and you are allowed to stop spending time with people who are mean to you.

If she's still able to bother you with these comments, it might be wise to look after yourself and limit contact.  Or you can continue to attempt to have nerves of steel around her.  But from what you wrote you really are letting her make you feel bad.

I'm sorry your mother is so mean to you OP.  It's not right or fair.[/quote]
