She is toxic to me.

I don't need that kind of shit in my life. I know why she is the way she is. I've told her that she needs therapy and she actually said to me in a sarcastic manner, "Oh, I'm SO fucked-up,aren't I?" To which I got up from the table and left, saying,"You know, I can't even have an adult conversation with you."

She is 65 years old. There is no chance, short of a miracle, that she is going to change. Got some books for you to read, sugar. Toxic Parents by Susan Forward and Emotional Incest by Patricia Love.

I was not the chosen child, my brother is. And it turns my stomach! But, that is not my problem. That is his challenge to act upon.

Goody for you that you have a relationship with your mother. It sounds stifling and contrived and I'm glad I'm not you. She still has an iron grasp on your life...sux2bu. Read the above books and break free! No charge for the counseling, this time.

Now, I'm done with this rant. I want to move on to better things.

Adios,

I didn't say every single mother means well, I said the bottom line for Silverlock was that he knew his did. Not every mother means well, and I applaud you for being free of yours. Think what you like, but my relationship with my mother is not stifling and contrived. She has no iron grasp on my life, trust me. It's a genuine relationship that we have managed to find and nurture out of the painful past. We even both had therapy. Not everyone can do that, and not everyone should. It would always depend on the people involved. Brenda "Excel is to math what a Microwave Oven is to cooking!" Edited by Nightowl Sept. 1, 2005, 12:27:10 AM EDT Expand All History
