[quote=Anonymous]OP, why don't you take a break from your mother (and perhaps your entire family) for a while?  I just did this with my father, and I'm going to use this break to work on healing from his abuse and to decide what kind of relationship, if any, I want with him.  I've managed to have a relationship with my dad for years despite his abuse behavior.  I drew all sorts of boundaries, but I just got so exhausted from constantly having to defend myself and to handle his passive-aggressive behavior.  I'm exhausted.  And I think I deserve better.  And so do you. And your kids don't need to watch someone abuse their mother. I'm over thinking that I'm duty bound to have a relationship with someone who mistreats me.  What would you life be like if you no longer had to contend with this abuse?  What amazing things could you accomplish if your energy wasn't going into managing your mother's hateful behavior?  Good luck.  I know this isn't easy, but I'm starting to see a glimmer of healing and freedom now that I'm not speaking to my dad.  [/quote]
