Y'know...
sometimes we just can't relate to some people. Your mom may be one of those people in your life you simply cannot have a relationship with without it degenerating into abuse or worse .

I read an article/story about a daughter whose mom was impossible to deal with. The mother did much the same thing to the daughter as your mom does to you. It turned out her mom was bi-polar and had been for years and years. Once she was diagnosed and recieved the proper medication everything changed for both of them.
And this really happened in my family.
My brother married a woman who was a ring-tailed, money seeking monster who could cuss like a sailor and cut you to the quick with her sharp and sadistic tongue. She could be melt-in-your-mouth sweet if she wanted something and when my brother HAD to divorce her and that's a whole other story, the court awarded custody of their daughters to her. She was after all educated, well-mannered, and quite beautiful. To cut straight to the chase she did to her daughters what your mom must be doing to you. When the older girl moved out at eighteen her Mom became incensed that she would dare. I'll call her "N" (the older daughter). You see "N" kept house for her mom. Well, Mom, took her rage out on the younger girl "J". "J" decided she wanted to go live with her dad and moved to another state and my brother started the court proceedings to change custody. Before the court date "J" disappeared and resurfaced back with her mom. It turns out that her Mom and Mom's boyfriend had driven up and basically abducted her. Eventually "N" and "J" officially divorced their Mom and the courts awarded "N" custody of "J"her sister. Ugly story and sadly true. The girls are doing wonderfully now but I'm sure they will carry the scars the rest of their lives. The scars can make you richer and deeper, though. You can overcome the sorrow. Don't blame yourself.
I agree with "J" aka "Crabby". Move on with your life and work to accept what you cannot change.
Prayers and hugs,
Willow
