[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh believe me, I've been clear and decisive.

She loves to rewrite history. She will completely pretend conversations didn't happen. Or you will agree upon something and a week later I'll get a call criticizing me for something I apparently didn't do, didn't do when she wanted or how she wanted and when I remind her of the conversation she claims we never talked about it or not about it that way. It's total BS.

I have seriously marveled at the incredible amount of drama she can create. Without her I live a drama free life - it's wonderful.  My Mom, however, has a Facebook battle with someone just about every other week or wants to complain about some lady in her bridge group or about my sibiling. She tries to get me to criticize my inlaws. She criticizes my sibling's inlaws. It just never stops. Several of her life-long friends have stopped talking to her and cut her off. [/quote]

If I had a sister, I'd swear you're describing my mom, right down to the weekly Facebook battles which she proudly tells me about (there's a reason I won't accept her friend request). I feel you. I just spent 4 days with my parents for my brother's wedding and spent 3.9 of those days trying not to stab her. She's just so infuriating, always having to be right, making stuff up left and right, criticizing everyone and anyone, on and on. It's exhausting to deal with her, so 99% of the time, I just don't. And, yes, she' gets mad at me, but I'm finally at a point where I just shrug it off and say "not my circus." Sorry I don't have any better advice than that.[/quote]
