She is something else!! We just had another argument. She's not happy and doesn't want to feel this way. She can't get past it. She feels like she always used to. blah, blah, blah. All I wanted to say was "leave me the f alone! I want my own life!"

She started with how many times she wants to talk to me a week. I said - oh you're starting with your rules again? She did drop it. But, the rule she did impose was that she doesn't want to hear about where I live, my apartment, my appliances, etc.

I said to her that if I did move up there, I know what would happen to me. I would think before I Jessie today? She thinks that's exactly how I should feel. She can't believe that I said that - it really hurt her that her own mother wouldn't want to feel that way. She has no sense of freedom or privacy or boundaries.,

I would have no freedom if I felt like that. I would be encompassed by her needs.

She said we could have a life together as a family, and can't believe what I'm giving up. Wouldn't I want to take yoga with Mackenzie or swimming lessons with Kassidy or go shopping with her?

She wants me to just give up my life alone and join in with the flow of her family.
I love her and my grandchildren, but I do not want that in the least!

I hope she doesn't impose her punishment on me again - that I can't see the children and she'll stop calling again.

I hate to say this, but I think she is so annoying. I do not want to live her life!
