I'd almost prefer that - "peace at all costs", "no conflict", but at same time sooooo manipulative. new

My mother is both negligent and overbearing at the same time. She cannot have a conversation without blatantly trying to argue with me, or "one up" me. It's stupid! It's the "me me me" stuff. I realize now that my mom never wanted a daugthter, she wanted a friend. I never wanted a friend, I wanted a mother. And since she raised us as a single mother, my internalized crap had to be hashed out in therapy. i have finally decided not to give a crap anymore. I will love her but I won't play her games, make her make me feel anything, or make me do or HEAR anything I don't want to. She can come around once every few months if she pleasesw, though she's 1/2 hour away, and if she doesn't, oh well. Why worry anymore!

Keep on keepin' on...
