“My mother would call or text me during work hours and would be upset when I would not respond right away. When I explained (multiple times) that she could call once I was off work, which was at 4:30 p.m., and I would answer, she called me a spoiled and ungrateful child. As a grown woman who had a college education, career, and lived with her husband, this was the last straw to be called a child because I was not constantly available to her.”
“I then realized that my mother had always been like this, always needed me to do something for her or to be around, and me being an independent adult did not sit well with her. I have not spoken to my mother in about six years, and she has not met my children.
At a funeral, she asked me for pictures, and I told her that we needed to talk about our past and she needed to hear me out on my feelings, because she would never let me before. It has been two years since and she has not even tried. She has made the rest of her side of the family see me as the bad guy and her the victim, so I don’t see or talk to them either. Losing a whole side of my family was hard, but my mental health is so much better for it.”
