: Ex. Last summer my teenage brother was preparing for first year of college. He ended up dumping on me (screaming, cussing, hitting things, etc.) I ended up taking my 3 y.o. and leaving the house. THroughout all this my mother watched and did nothing except tell me when I left the house that I obviously did not care or love anyone in my family (because I was leaving the scene).
: By leaving and saying calmly that I was not going to partake in this (it wasn't an argument), I rocked the boat and was not spoken to by anyone in my family for 9 months. 9. During this time I receved many letters saying that it was my fault, I had no business being there, I was infringing on their space, a list of everything bad I've ever done in my life, etc. etc. etc.
It sounds to me like your problem is that your mother is fucked up, not
that she's a One.
