My mum is bitter about her life choices, so tries to blocks my way.

She isn’t a witch she’s a narcissist and you either go grey rock method or cut contact.

@LyssThis is going to sound so stupid, but I feel sorry for her so I would never go no contact. She is boomer generation, so I know she feels bitter about missing out on stuff in life. Her bitterness is getting worse with age, but strangely enough she is not this way towards my brothers.

Yeah my mom was a boomer. But the way I look at it is… as a parent I would never do that to my kids. I used to be a lot more forgiving of my mom until I had my own kids and was like how could you say that to your own kids?! I would absolutely never. And she probably acts like that with you cuz you are her daughter … you are a threat to her not in the same way as your brothers cuz she sees herself in you and not them… but again she’s a mom she’s a grown up who decided to have kids. And sometimes the best medicine for them is to go no contact. Cuz it gets to a point you have to put you or her first and parents like that teach us to put them first but it’s wrong. We deserve to go first. Cuz it’s our lives. If we did what was best for our moms instead we would end up miserable like they are/were.

@Lyss Thanks Lyss. You are 100% right. I will read up on the grey rock method. I need to find the strength and stop worrying about her being isolated.
