Quote From: Candie

GO GIRL!  Your story sounds almost like mine.  They call my mother, "THE FAMILY SH_T (crap) STIRRER".  I'm having surgery in a few weeks and told her that I didn't want her up at the hospital because she makes my blood pressure go up.  The doctor told me no stress.  HaHa!  The last time I had surgery she told my husband, nurses and the doctors everything they were doing wrong.  I love her but she drives me nuts.  Sometimes I wish my husband and I could move away.  Her biggest problem is that she needs to get a life.  Her Own Life!  She's mad at me right now but who cares at least I got peace and quiet.  Thank You Lord. 
I read in somewhere that this kind of mothers feel they did not do a good job  raising their kids and the guiltof having failed is so overwhelming that they pass it to us to get rid of it and then they are convinced we are not good mothers and that they better be the mothers to their grandchildren, not only because of our supposely defficiency but because they have the urgency to have a second shot beleiving this time they will get it right...truth is they are sooo wrong....please Dr Phil , have a whole week of shows on this subject. You wont believe how people look at us like crazy when we mention we dont want mother's help to this extentct, and how to manage guilt in ourselves for finding peace when we take distance from Mom or she is no longer here.
