Just dump on me, but that’s over with. Her problems are worse than anyone according to her, she’s accomplished more than anyone in the past, it’s always someone else’s fault, her grown children are a mess except for one. And I am done done. Her voice would ring in my ear after the calls were over and my anxiety levels would be at an all time high after hours of listening to her, being interrupted, being talked over. It’s been so peaceful the past week, letting her late night calls go to voicemail and her texts responded to with excuses.

I understand your feeling! I ask myself the same thing. I can’t just give up on the relationship although I know that is what needs to happen to make me happy!

She literally sucks up all of my energy with her constant neediess. Family illnesses (older brother) can bring out so many things in families that were just under the surface. My mother has always been somewhat emotionally abusive to me. I was never able to have my own feelings, I was never good enough, I could always do better, strong need to be perfect, feeling responsible for her mood/emotions, invalidating me by telling me that I exaggerate or that I am not feeling a certain way. I have NEVER felt like I can be me in front of her. She has no idea who I am as a person. She is too caught up in telling me what I should be doing, how it should be done, how I should treat others, how I should feel and show my feelings. I am always in survival mode, walking on eggshells and avoiding rocking the boat at any cost. Now that my brother is sick she is constantly looking for me to fulfill her emotional needs. She is the neediest and most pathetic person I know. She has a toxic personality and is a negative person who has drained me of any emotion I might have had. I feel horrible for my brother and I want to be compassionate towards him but my mother has forced him down my throat. Did you call him, what did he say, did you go over there, what are you doing for him?????? Like somehow I am responsible for the situation or I have some way to change it. I have my own business and a family of my own. I call and talk to him everyday and while I am not able to be there all the time, I try to be there emotionally. Lately it has been difficult to do that however, b/c she has drained me of my emotions.
