[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How has nobody realized that the "cleaning" is nothing else than control. Being "sensitive" and "easy to anger" are also ways to manipulate others to do as you want, especially if you've trained them to do so. Your mom is a bully. You need to stop this now. I'm saying this as an Eastern European. There is no nice way of telling her. She becomes irate exactly because that's her way of getting what she wants. And then behaving like nothing happened is classic. You need to tell her that she cannot come over, change the garage code and let her fume. You can even tell her that your husband is considering divorcing you over her behavior (with some that works, but she may also instead be happy as you'd be all hers, so only you would know). If they threaten to move to Europe, support this! Help them along!  [/quote]

Exactly. I left my hypercontrolling mother when I was 20, and I escaped to a different CONTINENT. That's what it took, OP. I married, had kids and made a life in the US. My mother is in Europe. The Atlantic ocean is a very useful buffer!
