Oh man...This really sounds familar. Not to sound harsh but there are some things you just can't get over. I haven't spoken to my mother in almost 10 years. I wish her no harm however, if she was to die it really wouldn't phase me. I "lost" my mother years and years ago. I have not had a "mother" in my life since high school. She spread rumors about me, she lied to me and about me to others, She tried to break up my marriage... These are just a FEW things that I had to go through. The others would take forever to tell you about.
Being around my mother was starting to take its toll on me. I ended up having angina attacks whenever she was around. I have a mild heart proplem and when I was around her the problem only got worse.
I know there is a lot of good advice here... However, YOU have to figure out what is best for YOU. If you want to stick it out and be there for her that is your choice and will be the right one for you. I guess my point is that every situation is very different. Respect is a 2 way street.
Take care ((HUGS))
