[quote=Anonymous] OP I come from a family where there was dysfunction and playing favorites and so much more. I suggest radical acceptance. This stinks, it's unfair, it's hurtful, but you need to accept it and move forward. You tried to address it and she got defensive. She showed you who she is and that she is not going to change. Let your mom be who she is. Don't be surprised if she still has a whole bunch of over the top expectations from you as she ages though...that's another post. You cannot change this, but you are in control of your own happiness. Use the time you hoped to spend with mom to do activities you enjoy and see friends. When you see your mom, have low expectations. Keep things polite, but accept that she is not going to meet your emotional needs. You will find peace and joy once you free yourself from expectations of your mom that she will not meet.[/quote]
