I am new to this forum. I am relieved to know there are others like me. I am 59 and the youngest child. My two older sisters moved away and my brother hates my mother. He lives 4 blocks from her and has not gone to see her in 4 months. She has no idea why. Well, we all know why. So I am stuck with her taking her around every Wednesday. Where do I begin? She did not come to my wedding, she said she never wanted to know my unborn child when I moved away for a short time....She told me tonight I am never attached to anything (I told her we were going somewhere in December) and I would be leaving our pets at home with a sitter. She has been a miserable part of my life. She is not a mother but a horrid friend. It is a relief to vent a few horrible things she has done. Oh the stories I can tell!
