[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. Thanks to everyone for your words of encouragement.

I've tried establishing healthy boundaries with my mother in the past. I've accepted that she will not change. Still, I let her get to me. I get angry and flustered and I'm hurting inside. Then I feel like the jackass. I should have been the smarter, stronger one. I don't want my emotions to be controlled by her actions. To the PPs who cut off their mothers, what was your process? How long did it take? How did you overcome any feelings of guilt, fear, remorse, etc?[/quote]
Are you able to give some examples of why she is a problem to you. Not being argumentative but I have a friend who says these things about her mother..but after years if hearing her complaints about her it turned out it was a lot about the daughter's perception of herself and she spent a lot of time claiming her Mom was at fault.

OP here. Let's just say I was abandoned several times when I needed my mother the most. She has a drug and alcohol problem, and if you know what it's like to grow up with a hardcore addict, I don't need to say anymore. I don't literally hate my mother. I love her deep down, despite everything. But I sure do grieve the loss of the mother I wish I had, and I have moments of anger and resentment (like when I started this thread).[/quote]
