Find Care & Housing

Stay strong! I have felt this way MANY MANY days! Does your mom live with you and is she sickly? It may be time for new arrangements. She sounds like my mom whom I Graciously accepted into my home when she noone else to take care of her and 8 months later I was at my wits end. She has narcisstic behaviors and also wants to be the center of attention. She feels that she is more important than my own kids. Now that she is in the NH..trust me the physical exhaustion is gone. She still drives me crazy with her outbusrts and behavior..but I can walk out and go home to my family. She was so bad my children resent her..they dont even want to visit her and they are 7,9,12, and 19 so I get where you are coming from. Keep your head up and do what you have to do to get your family back and your life. Our parents enjoyed their lives in their prime and there is no reason they should ruin ours. As much as we will always love them..we can love from a distance

You have to kick your own strength up a notch. What do you do when you come up against a situation that is more challenging than anything you have ever done? Do you say " I can't do it" or do you try harder? Be honest.
Try something different, a new approach. Get a babysitter for Mom because she is acting like she needs one. Every time my Mother pulled this s--t with me--from the time I was 28 years old, because that was when I figured out that what she was doing was selfish and inconsiderate, not to mention more immature than we were ALLOWED to be as TODDLERS!--I called her on it. And she cried and told me I was "just like my Father" and I said Hallelujah, thank you very effing much Mother. And she would calm down. Self-centered babies need to be Managed. Read up on Narcissists. It's time you learn a new lesson, or you will be doomed to keep repeating this one. It is a lesson: that's why it's hard and when you master it you will feel so much better, Dear One:) xo

I am so sorry. Some moms do this.

Find the strength to do whatever it takes to reclaim your life, don't let her win. Live your life for yourself and your children.

There is a place inside you that is safe. You can go there and not be affected by her. Find it.

Whatever you are letting her hold over you, let it go. She can't hold you and hurt you unless you let her.

I hope you can find the strength to find peace in your life. Give yourself back your joy. Take care of yourself.

Poor thing. I pray the LORD encourages you today. I think you simply need to tell your Mom that you love her, but she is sabotaging joyful milestones in your family

As such, you choose to take a break from her. You need to boldly look at her when she begins to sabotage and tell her point blank: I will not let you sabotage the joy for my family. I am sorry you are in pain, but I can't help you right now.
