[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 217172, member: 1233"] I am glad you haven't budged on your plans. You DO need to make some CLEAR boundaries with your mother. You can start by hanging up the phone or leaving the room EVERY time she makes ANY of her non-supportive comments. LEt her know, once, that she can either be totally supportive or silent on these topics. IF you are at her house and she starts on you, take the kids and LEAVE. EVEN if the kids want to stay. It is NOT acceptable for her to be this damaging to you. As for Wynter, don't you miss the days of "seen and not heard"? I think leaving the room when she starts the " now you are leaving me" manipulation is a good idea. Most of all, with your health you need to concentrate on getting better. I am glad your Gma will spoil you - you deserve it. She might have some interesting insights on how to handle your mother also. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
