@Kate Coveny Hood, it does, thank you. And it helps that anyone even read it. Helps to write it. Also, cheaper than therapy.

@Marinka, it's so strange to see a serious comment from you. But I appreciate it, because I know how humor is your thing. *kisses* (oh, wait, you don't like those, huh? How about a hearty handshake?)

@foradifferentkindofgirl (fadkog), because of the kids, we can’t right now. It’s complicated because it comes in waves. I wish I could say she was all horrible – it would be easier to step away. But regardless of how she makes me feel sometimes, she loves my kids. My kids love her. She has never hurt them. I can’t rip them away from her.

But thank you, and that last part *did* make sense.

@Issa, she is loving and caring, and kind. Just, not all the time. You're amazing, and thank you for your nice words. *muah*

@Muirgen, it’s very complicated. If you could hear her say it… I know that doesn’t change how much it hurt me. She sounds hurt, too. I’m not sure how to explain.

The situation is far from ideal. There are a lot of contributing factors, and though I’m sure it’s not a personality disorder, it IS severe depression. And that comes in many, many horrible flavors.

“I’ll never fix you before I die”…. Anyone who actually says this to you is being abusive. Just from the content of this poem it sounds like your M has a personality disorder. Seriously. She sounds much like my MIL, and she does. You don’t need fixing.

Oh honey, tons of hugs.

C, you can’t change her. Only you. Only how you take it on. I know you wish she’d change, but she’s likely never going to. But over time you may be able to change how it effects you. Because you deserve better. You deserve a caring, loving, kind mother. Because you, my beautiful friend, are amazing.
