Quote From: michelyne5Dear Brenda,
It as been a while since i wrote to you but let me tell you that you have been on my prayers.I am sorry to see that things don't get better with your mother. I guess that the quote you just wrote is the right answer not only for her but for you too. It is true that God puts some people in our lives for a reason. You must find the WHY question so you learn how to deal with her.
I think that when you go in her room she feels the power she has over you and everyone for that matter.She controls all of you and you give her the right to do so.What will happen if you didn't go? Have you ever try ignoring her like we do with children?
She doesn't deserve a wonderful daughter like you and she should acknowledge it and grow up. Has anyone ever confronted her with her selfish personnality? Your father must be an angel to have endure her for so long. I dont think it is ever too late to make things right in life no matter the age or the situation. She should apologized to you not the other way around.
I wish you time to reconnect to serenity .
Friendship always Lyne xoxoxox
Of course, there is a whole lot of truth in what you're saying! Especially, regarding her use of extreme behavior to control the family. Please see the post to Ritehere-Linda!
Thank you for you thoughts and prayers. This has been an almost life-long struggle. I am certainly not without responsibility, here.
I'm going to spend some time brain-storming. There may be some more creative approaches to dealing with the family in this matter, particularly, my father. If you or anyone else have any ideas they sure would be appreciated. I have tried a variety of things. Without family involvement, my mother can very quickly undermine anything!
Thanks, Again! Brenda
