Some of you know some of the drama between my mother and me...
To recap quickly (is that possible?):
My mother is, I think, an undiagnosed narcissist. We were really close until I decided to take my own path. Until I didn't need her. Until I was happy.
She's passive aggressive, and she likes to take her frustrations with me out on Facebook and other public venues, so she can play the martyr.
Just over 2 years ago, I'd had enough and told her if she couldn't start taking her frustrations with me to ME rather than to the world...I was done.
She didn't get it, and I didn't speak to her for over two years. But then my brother got married, and I tried to just tell her I loved her.
She ignored me. She kept her back to me when I tried to hug her, she didn't look at me, and she didn't even raise a hand to pat my arm. Cold as can be.
Several times in the past month, she made a snide comment on one of my Facebook posts. A snide, passive aggressive remark. I decided to block her from my posts.
She blocked me from her life.
Eh.
Just needed to vent a bit, I guess.
It's more complicated than the things I listed here, but I didn't want to bore you guys to tears, and I didn't feel like going into every detail.
But it still sucks.
