Thanks Michelle. I'm not ready to write her off just yet. My Mom would never do the things you mentioned yours did. It's just that mine is very selfish. She wants things done for her...nice compliments made to her. She doesn't do that to everyone else. Never would babysit (unless absolute emergency), said she raised hers, she wasn't raising ours. She is just very thoughtless and doesn't go out of her way for anyone except for one lady friend she has who is almost blind.

If you try to help her...it has to be on her time, her way. I'm just tired of the bickering and the way I feel when I'm with her and after I leave her. She leaves for Florida on the 5th and stays until the end of April. Maybe I'll find a way to get a newer strength to be able to tolerate it while she's gone. I just have to keep praying.
