[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“In a sick and twisted way, she probably blames you for your father’s death, as in you as a doctor couldn’t help prevent his death or alleviate his suffering. She probably put her friends up to sending in the notes to you.”

OP here. I think you are correct on both counts. I am in a subtype of oncology and my mother keeps asking what good it is that I am a cancer doctor at a big research institution if my dad died of cancer. And she knew about the notes - she texted me before I even got them that she did NOT agree with notes that were being sent to me by her friends. But my husband commented at the time that she “doth protest too much.”

Ever since I was little, I have always done my own thing and bern very good at tuning out my mom, but the stress has been overwhelming and it just piles up with no sign of letting up. I can’t believe I hung up on my mom, but I am at the end of my rope. Seems like this problem is specific to my family though, and not commonly seen. Which is a good thing for society!

I miss our dog. He just loved me when I was home, and never gave me crap about my schedule.

Thank you all again.[/quote]

OP, I just want to hug you. You need some love. Do you have a friend that you could talk with? A mentor?

Your mom is exceptionally cruel, disturbingly so. With respect to your kids and DH, I wonder what nastiness your mom is feeding them or has fed them in the past. Their reaction seems like an echo of your mom, moderated because I suspect they know it's not okay. [/quote]
