[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 213422, member: 1233"] Pick up a copy of hte book toxic parents or toxic people. It might help both of you. Put as little emotion and energy into the relationship with your mom as possible. You are NOT going to understand her behavior. She honestly may think she is somehow helping. If my mom had ANY idea the kinds of things she has said to me when "trying to help" she would never forgive herself. Some of them have been horrible and abusive and awful. I know she loves me, loves my kids, loves my husband. Being quite a number of years past msot of the drama, I can see that she was going through a lot of her own stuff much of the time. But it still hurt, and it is your right to put limits and boundaries on your relationship with your mom, and your sister's right also. The book Boundaries, by cloud and Townsend is also excellent.
