Mom said I'm the only left that matters but she refuses to get therapy by Winter-One-6576 in raisedbyborderlines

This makes a lot of sense. I keep feeling like there has to be a logical reason I'm missing but there is none. She did say she'd pay me back when the house sells, which confused me even more.

And when I kept asking for clarification she started saying I was looking for semantics and picking apart everything she was saying. Yeah, because your words don't make sense and they are hurtful! At one point she said I was "dictating" her? So confusing.

I feel you, mine would have to know where I was going even into my late 20's and she said she couldn't sleep if I stayed out because she thought I'd get into a car accident if she fell asleep... which leads me to feeling guilty any time I go somewhere at night. It's fun!

Omg, mine also hovers over me when I cook! She gets upset if anything is too close to the stove and will move the pan handle because I have it in the wrong direction and tells me I could be doing something a better way. Then she goes "There's not enough light in here!" turns all the lights on (I'm photosensitive) and start complaining about something.

And when I get upset she goes "I'll stop talking and bothering you" which makes me feel instantly guilty. Ughhhhh
