[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You remind me of someone I know who has blamed every disappointment, failure. Negative aspect of her life on her mother.  Every positive aspect of her life, however, was because of her own good choices.  Her mother finally got sick of being blamed for the woman's drug and alcohol dependency as well as her failed marriages.  Maybe your mother is fed up with you.[/quote]

I agree somewhat with PPs bashing this poster and previously posted in support of OP, but can we all agree that sometimes people DO go a bit overboard on the mom-blaming.  Your mom may have been horrible at times and she may have (nay, probably did) damaged you but she is also a whole person who existed and lived through her own pain before she had you and continues to live her own life after you've left home.  I have a bad relationship with my own mother but reminding myself that she and I are our own individuals, responsible for and living our own lives, helps me from viewing her as 100% MOM as if her sole role in life was to raise me perfectly.[/quote]
