My mom sucks. She drags everything down. She was verbally abusive my entire life, hates my dad & can't believe I have a relationship w/him. She is alone - no friends, twice...
(more)
divorced, bitter, complains about having to work (WHO DOESN'T) and never has a good word to say about anybody. She just started therapy (finally) and was telling me how her dad was abusive & an alcoholic just like - GEE WHIZ - the man she married. I am sick of it all and can't take the dysfunction. She doesn't realize that she was NOT a good mother. It's all about her and her pain and I know she regrets ever having me & my sister.
