[quote=Anonymous]Reviving this thread because I was wondering if anyone experiences this. Your mother explodes at you because her surrogate/fantasy daughter suddenly wants mommy to invite you on their outings and you repeatedly decline and it EMBARRASSES your mom?

For background, my mother puts this woman on a pedestal and used to try to to tell my why she was superior until I set boundaries, but mom also badmouthed her until I refused to listen to that either. Our parents were "friendly" growing up, I use quotes because mom badmouthed everyone. This woman is older which was a big difference as kids and while she is a nice person we have little in common. DH and I distanced from my mother gradually due to a lot of dramatics, but when she was creating favoritism dynamics with grand-kids that hurt our older child who has special needs we went very low contact and keep the kids away.

I wish I could say, "Enjoy your cosplay of perfect mom and ideal daughter, but don't try to drag others into it!" I didn't need this explosion.[/quote]
