[quote=Anonymous] Wow interesting that so many are defending OP's mother. I think people who aren't in these types of relationships with a parent don't get it. It's the cumulative effect of a lifetime of command performances that are completely on the parent's terms and if the parent's terms are not met and they are not properly adored (which is a bottomless pit), there is anger and manipulation and attention-seeking tactics. A normal parent would say...I'd love to see you and Billy and give him his book. Is there a good time in the next couple of weeks? If not, I'll pop the book in the mail to you and let me know when I can see you all next. And then stop. Wait. Listen. Respond to what comes next and don't bully your way into getting what you want.[/quote]
