Mine is an awful person and I wish DP would finally go no contact, but unfortunately she has emotionally manipulated him from a young age, she’s the ultimate narcissistic mother.
The worst thing she’s done to me, was kick me and DP out of her house and pretty much made us homeless as my family live 4 hours away and we had to live in a caravan (we had to live with her for a couple of months waiting on our house sale to go through, biggest mistake ever!), I will also mention the fact that I was 12 weeks pregnant at the time with our first child. She accused me of stealing from her and screamed in my face to “never ask her for help with our child”.
She no longer leaves her house because she has “terrible back pain and mental health issues”. She everything with her is attention seeking. Unless my DP is running around after her, she’s not happy.
Her favourite lines she uses to my partner are “you treat me like this after all I’ve done for you”, “I put a roof over your head and food on the table”, “fine, don’t bother, you don’t care about me”.
its EXHAUSTING and quite frankly, I hate the woman. My partner has some issues himself that come through childhood trauma, based on the way his mum was over the years.
my children don’t see her often and I would never, ever let her have them on her own, but I really want to go no contact with her and the children because I don’t want them around the damaging behaviour. My DP thinks that is unfair and not acceptable as she is their “grandmother”. It’s really difficult.
