I don’t have time or space to list everything, but she’s 83, I’m 49, and I’m her only living child left.
I gave up completely in January. I’m AuADHD. I’m a thyroid patient, and I am significantly overweight. I’ve had frequent trouble fitting in at work and school, and I got into a situation at work yet again with my latest job, and my then supervisor was starting to turn on me as well.
I called her because I needed comfort. That’s not what I got. She literally said, “You’re the problem.” I spiralled into another pit of self loathing and suicidal thoughts.
I decided then there had to be a boundary. I said, you’re a danger to me. I’m done. Leave me alone.
I went back to work and defended myself, got HR involved. Guess what. Everyone got fired. The person harassing me, the two supervisors who were letting the harasser control the narrative, all gone.
The work I do involves supporting people with mental illness. I put every ounce of my energy everyday into these people. I was a fool to hope I could turn to my own mother for support. I’ll save it for the therapist and you guys.
She’s afraid. It’s not about loving me (She’s allowed her husband to ban me from their house). She brings up all the money she’s given me – and she has. But she’s also lied that I forged her signature, lies that she buys things and hides them. Tells everyone these lies that makes everyone hate me, makes herself look like a victim. They’ve literally told people that I have taken every penny they have (they’ve got 100k+ investments, own home and cars outright, (bought their cars with cash) both have retirement and SS- they still make more than me after retirement for 20 years.
I’m done. DONE. I’m done getting kicked when I’m down.
