Thank you ladies...you all gave good advice. What I think will work best for me is to love my mother from afar. I will be there when she needs me...but keep my distance the rest of the time. That way...maybe things will be better between us. We don't see each other that much anyway...because of the friction...but I will try to just keep my thoughts and opinions to myself..unless she asks for them. Maybe that will work best.
