She's going to make me go INSANE!!!!

Ugggh, what a pain. It really is strange to see how much more mature you are than your mom. She is still living like she was 10 years ago or so and expects you to do the same.
I hate that she cannot see what is happening. Her griping and all is only pushing her farther away. But, you are doing the right thing and putting YOU and you immediate family first.

I know. Mark is such a sweet person. It is really sad that he is letting her take advantage of him like that.

As you know, I have had my own mother problems. Vent away. It helps. Believe me. Your mom has never had a major illness I guess. It changes you and your life and your priorities entirely. You are a different person now than you were a year ago because of cancer. Sounds like you mom hasn't realized you are a different person than when you were in high school. I know what that's like.

My mother was always trying to run my life as well, doesn't like my hubby, doesn't like the way I live my life blah, blah, blah

First I moved to a different city, then I moved to a different country, it helped a lot she can't afford to ring up just to b#tch at me anymore, and I've gotten really, really good at ignoring her.

I would (if you can) just ignore her as much as possible, whenever she starts to witch away, get called away from the phone, work or kids are always good excuses, try not to use John as an excuse as that will only give her more ammo against him.

I'm sorry your Mom is such a pain in the *ss and is butting into your life. I would have hung up on her too. Have you told your Mom how you feel about her about her sticking her nose in where it doesn't belong and how her comments make you feel?

I hope things get better Liz.

My mom is the same way about Billy. She pretends to like him but if I mention something she thinks is a bad idea, she says it was his idea and do what "I" want to do. She really blames him for the move to CT, but what were we supposed to do, his firm was closing and we have 3 kids to raise! Sorry, I've just stolen your post! My intention was to tell you that you aren't alone, and you're doing the ebst thing for your family. I think hanging up is a GREAT idea!

I would have hung up on her too. Some people just drain all your energy and you need to take a break from them!

Liz, if you're really worried about sending her into a massive depression if you tell her what you feel, here's a plan: Write the letter. Make it as long and detailed as you need to to make YOU feel better. Then put it in an envelope and put it away somewhere - don't mail it.

You'll feel better for have gotten it off your chest, and you're not hurting her. And you leave yourself the option of sending it later, of course, if she pushes you over the edge.

I"m sorry your Mom is treating you the way she is...Hopefully something will happen to make her see what she's doing is wrong!
