Stay strong about this issue. Someone like your mom can destroy everything you hold dear. I am seeing exactly that happen to two people I know. It's astounding how vicious and evil a parent can get but it seems exacerbated by prescription drugs they take. Many are actually pain pill addicts and vastly different from who they would be otherwise. They are so cruel they are like emotion-terrorists.
TY for your encouragement, fren. I do stick to my guns, just get a little weary of the judgment from others. I don't care about it...and honestly, I'm glad that most people DO have healthy relationships with one or both of their parents. And you are spot-on -- "emotional terrorist" is a perfect description of my mother.
