You would jump off a bridge if someone stood up to you about the horrible way you treated them? Interesting.

Barring physical abuse, I agree this is a really low bar. Probably makes your mom feel worse.
So the verbal abuse does not count?
Please let us know your address so we can send you our screaming, paranoid, gaslighting untreated relatives…you know, since you don’t mind.
You would not last ten minutes.

Nothing was good enough, so why put in the effort or money? It was like I was paying to get criticized.
So I get it, OP. Maybe next year you can send her a birthday text in the AM? Baby steps!![]()

Lol, such a troll response.
No I am not a troll. Sorry. Plenty of people deal with family members they don't like or get along with. Do you think other people live in an episode of a TV show? Is that how they manage it? No, they do not. Be a better person. There is nothing else.
