Dear Lizbeth,
When I am around my mother, she makes me crazy. I love her amd she loves me. I call her once a week and she lives 5 minutes from me. I see her at my sister’s house about once a month and of course if something happens that is important, I call her or she calls me.
I miss her, but I just can’t take how mean she can be. It is not usually directed at me, but just her attitude in general.
It’s okay to take care of you for a while. You don’t have to make it forever, just a break. When I first started limiting my time with her, she did make me feel guilty. She has actually started spending time with my Dad. That is good!
It is really ok to distance yourself for a time.
