Divorce my mother
ok. Here goes. I am 43 years old and for the last 23 years my mother has had very very little to do with me. She never ask about her grandson and forgets to call me on my birthday for the last 18 years. its like I don't exist anymore. I lived up north and she lived down south. I visited her 3 times and never once would she come see me. My son wants nothing to do with her. She does not ask and I don't offer up the info. She tells me that I don't need her. That I am able to stand on my on two feet and take care of myself. This is true. I still believe that no one should ever have to outgrow their mommy. she now only calls about 1 times a month to see if I am working because she needs money. I have tried to hard to cut the ties but the guilt inside of me is so strong. I remember back when she had me commited for being gay, the therapist told me that my mother would probably be the death of me if I let her run my life. she is killing me inside. I cry so much at the lost of what was my mother. the woman that stands before me is someone I don't know. I cant keep going on like this. back and forth and back and forth. How do I break this endless chain of pain. I have a family now. They love me so much! I don't need her anymore. How in the world do I do this!? I feel like some days nothing is worth this kind of pain. Then she calls and I break down. Help please.
