I want to start of with I love my mum, but she's ringing me everyday for at least 3 hours non stop to vent all her anger out.
The topics of conversations are moaning about her neighbours,work colleagues, my in laws,her siblings, her parents eve tho they have passed.
I have been feeling depressed after these phone calls I hate them if I'm honest, I know if I tell her there will be tears.
My DH says I'm her personal therapist, which she wont have. She said she won't do coffee mornings and she doesn't chat to people on dog walks as there nosey, and always calls them sad bastards that stand in a circle chatting and using there dogs for a social occasion, she claims she's a very private person.
Recently I was in bed 9 pm dropping off to sleep as I'm up at 6 clock with my DC the phone was going off repeatedly when I didn't dare answer as I know how long she keeps me and then she starting ringing my DH who was a sleep at this point as he starts work at 7 am, I started to panic thinking something bad happened why she's ringing my DH as she can't get through to me I answer phone and all she says is our soso has told me this last night and that bastard has done this x y z (someone in the family who I never see) and vented to me for a full hour.
I don't know how to tell her to stop as she will be hurt. I need some advice I am very empathic so I think that's why I'm so depressed after. I'm such a happy soul in my nature but I don't like what's happening.
(I wasn't sure which thread to put it under also sorry about that)
