[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother is in denial that it's happened.  I see her a couple of times a year when she comes out here, and I keep things VERY surface. She asks probing questions and I either give a very vague answer or change the subject, she tells people personal things about me and when I get pissed she acts like she has no clue why. Like the time 9 of us were sitting around a table eating dinner and she talked about my bathroom habits when I was 2, and couldn't understand either why this was inappropriate at a dinner table while people were eating or why someone wouldn't want their baby poop talked about to other people.

So you’re not actually estranged but you’re both playing games with each other? That’s not what the thread is about. And yeah, grow up.[/quote]

I'm not playing games with her.  I did grow up by setting boundaries.  It's hard because I don't want to hurt her feelings but do want to protect mine.  Understand that was ONE minor example. She's done MUCH worse.  That's simply the most recent. [/quote]
