I hate my mother pt 2

ugh, that sounds beyond frustrating; reminds me of a time when my dad insisted I was making things up about how he'd forget important events. same deal, he first flat-out denied it happened and then tried justifying how busy he was whenever i provided specifics. it's so draining trying to maintain any relationship with someone who twists reality like that.

Wow, that's tough. Do you think having a calm conversation with her might help address some of these issues?

Man, that sounds seriously draining. I've been in a similar spot with my sister; she has this knack for twisting things around too. It's like, how do you even have a conversation when facts become flexible? Just makes you wanna scream sometimes. Do you think there's ever gonna be a way to break through to her on this or is it just pointless trying? Honestly, I wonder if confronting them ever leads anywhere or just fuels more drama.

Man, that's really rough. Parents can be super tough to deal with sometimes and yeah, it sounds pretty frustrating how your mom's flipping the script like that. But, you know, I wonder if confronting her directly might help set some boundaries or clear things up? I had a similar situation with my dad where he never seemed to own up to his stuff; eventually just sitting down and having a talk really opened up some new paths for us both. Hopefully, there's a way to work through this without too much drama.

I can empathize with your frustration because it sounds like she has a habit of shifting blame. However, have you considered that maybe there is something deeper going on with her that’s causing this behavior? It might not be an excuse, but understanding could lead to some peace.

ugh, that sounds really rough. reminds me of my brother who always acts like he's never wrong and gets defensive when confronted. it’s so exhausting when people can’t just own up to their mistakes, you know? wish there was an easy way to deal with folks like that...

it's gotta be exhausting dealing with someone who's always twisting the truth to fit their narrative; you're not overreacting by feeling drained. i've seen similar dynamics play out, and it's wild how some people can never just own up to their mistakes; they always have to make it about something else. sometimes, it's like they're trapped in their own little world where they're always blameless. i get why walking away feels like the right move there; no one should have to constantly defend themselves against that kind of mental gymnastics. maybe distance could give you a bit more peace of mind?

Sounds like you're dealing with some classic deflection tactics. It's infuriating when someone refuses to own up to their actions, especially when they switch between denial and justification so seamlessly. Navigating that kind of dynamic definitely takes a toll on your mental health; no wonder you feel drained.

have u tried just ignoring her when she starts doing those things?

ain't that the classic emotional gaslighting move?

I’ve been in a similar boat where family dynamics felt so disheartening. My mom once denied something hurtful too, and finding ways to set boundaries became essential for my sanity. It’s hard but sometimes stepping back helps put things in perspective.

You're right about needing space from such negativity. But maybe there's room for constructive dialogue once you've both cooled down? It might open the door to addressing some of her manipulative tendencies directly.

i know how draining toxic family can be (been there myself). while it seems like shes always playing the victim card, maybe theres a way to communicate boundaries clearly without engaging in the drama? just an idea.

sounds annoying as hell lol. honestly tho, maybe just let her deal with her own shit and focus on yourself more.
