[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother is like this, OP. I feel for you and I know how destructive and demoralizing this type of behavior is. Personally, I do not have the heart to get a restraining order against my mother despite the horribly crazy and abusive things she has done. We plan to start having kids soon so I might change my mind if I sincerely thought she could cause harm to my kids.

I also wanted to congratulate you on creating a sane and stable life for yourself and your children. It is a feat to come up with insanity and find your way to a normal life. Hat's off to you. [/quote]

Thank you, really kind thing to say.  I was really fortunate growing up to have other stable family members and friends parents to love me and look up to. [/quote]

OP, you're not alone. NP here.  You know how hard it is to try to explain to people - sometimes merely acquaintances - that your own mother is bat shit crazy??!!  From jobs, to schooling, to everyone in between - my own mother has tried to alienate me from my employers and worse.

I think these mothers do this because of mental illness, but also because they can not live with the fact that they have NO control over you.  FORGET the fact that she is your mother.  You did NOT ask for this.  Restraining order, stat.  We back you up 100%, FWIW.  You did nothing wrong.  Again, you did not ask for this.

OP here. Yes! It is so hard and embarassing to have to tell people that.  Or apologize to my boss for my mother repeatedly calling his cellphone and leaving messages about me. It really is horrible. Thank you![/quote]
