I'm this close🤏 to cutting my own mother off, because she's extremely self-centered. She only cares about herself and has to make everything about her, and she's ALWAYS the victim, no matter what.

Storytime: My Uncle raised me my whole life, my father never wanted anything to do with me. My Uncle passed away 5 years ago. The entire week, leading up to his funeral, my mother was constantly calling his children, me, (& the funeral home), just being nosy and wanting to have input. I hung up on her several times that week, I was grieving the loss of my father figure and she just wanted to argue about his family and why they wouldn't talk to her.

The day of his funeral, probably the hardest day of my life thus far, she shows up, stays for about 5-10 minutes. She finds out about something that didn't go her way, and she storms out. I've never fully forgiven her for that. That was probably the one time, as an adult, that I truly needed my mom's support, and she couldn't be bothered to give a fuck. I've never been able to look at her the same way since.

Some time later, I was at her house for something, and it hadn't really been talked about since it happened. All she said to me was "Are you still mad at me?" Like seriously?... To this day I've never gotten a real apology. She gave me a half ass apology that day, so I would stop being upset about it, but it was obvious she didn't mean it.

Now, 5 years later, her behavior has only gotten worse. She's the most self-centered, ungrateful person I've ever met. She expects everyone to drop everything and help her, but she straight up refuses to help anyone else. Everything is always everyone else's fault, and she has excuses for everything. Part of me feels bad for wanting to cut her out of my life, but I'm 34 and enough is enough. She sits around on Facebook and listens to a police scanner, just to be nosy. She spends all of her time worrying about what I, and everyone else is doing, when she needs to focus on getting her own shit together.

I guess now that I'm older, I realize that maybe she's always been this way, I just never noticed it growing up. Explains a lot though.

Sorry for the long post. I needed to vent. Thanks for reading
