My mother and I have been estranged for 8 years and have seen each other one time in last six years at my brothers wedding. My father passed away when I was 13 ( I am now 48) . I am married and have two kids (Age 12 and 10). My mother has a narcissistic approach to life and for years swore at my wife, belittled me, would not respect boundaries and was never able to be pleased or satisfied. 8 years ago after being given a third chance with her grandkids, she swore in front of my wife in my son's room (in front of neighbors) and had to be physically escorted out by me. She screamed I had assaulted her. I knew then that our relationship was over for good. Fast forward to my daughter's bat mitzvah this past weekend. We had heard that she hired a private investigator to find out the date/location. We hired security with the synagogue. A friend was on the plane with her so we went to the airport to beg her not to ruin her granddaughters big day. She refused. She showed up at the synagogue the next day. She was refused entry. She then proceeded to picket the synagogue to humiliate us--by holding a sign "I am X's grandmother and I am not allowed in". Everyone who was present saw her or who left. It was shocking and horrific. I am speechless that someone would do such a thing. I saw on your sight similar stories. It made me feel less alone. #Post#: 388-------------------------------------------------- Re: Overpowering mothers By: alanacollins Date: July 12, 2020, 8:59 am --------------------------------------------------------- since my mum lost my baby brother, nothing has been the same. she had always been from a non-religious home, but her cousins and auntie were brought up Jehovah's witnesses. they persuaded my mum into finding light with Jehovah, and so she started reading their "bible", or whatever the word for it is. she didn't start her proper studies until a few years later. i think i was 9 when she started properly, and my younger sister 3. she would take us to my auntie's house, who was a jehovah, and my dad would get angry with her. you see, we were all christened (my dad, me) except from my mum and younger sister. but we weren't religious in any way whatsover, apart from my mum. my dad holds a hatred towards jehovah's witnesses because he believes they changed my mum for the worse. my mum and dad would argue ALOT about my mother's religion etc. my mum has changed alot. she was baptised last year and not me, my dad or my little sister showed up. she had family there, but not us. my dad had told me that if i was to ever follow her footsteps then he would never speak to me again. 2020, and my mum prefers her religion over me. she treats me like rubbish. her religion has changed us all, but has effected me the most. i feel lonely, depressed. i'm only young and she manipulates me and tries to bully me all of the time. she tells me she wishes she had my friends as daughters instead of me. she would also rather call me lazy than motivate me into doing more things. we've had many issues before, and i honestly thought they were all squashed when we talked it out - more like cried it out - a few weeks ago. but no, after telling her that her and my dad's behaviour had made me self -harm and try to commit suicide at least 4 times, they both in turn still continue to put me down. oh, and if you were wondering why i said my dad was involved in me being like this, it's because he would abuse me and try to dominate himself as the man of the house. he told many lies too. the physical abuse has stopped, but the verbal hasn't. and that's my life. #Post#: 392-------------------------------------------------- Re: Overpowering mothers By: bc2 Date: September 29, 2020, 4:43 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I cannot remember when my mother showed any care or concern for me, since occasionally in 2004. Always arguing, nothing affirming, no Christmas or birthday presents, interfering with my holidays, clothes etc. Latest thing is I shouldn't have a house to live in! How stupid, stupid, stupid. Mum is 99 tomorrow. It has affected my health greatly in the past. Mum can 't go on much longer. Why do we have to suffer like this? ***************************************************** (DIR) Previous Page (DIR) Next Page
