To think my mum is out of order?

Went to my mum's at about 7.30 today. She asked if I wanted to pop out to her old neighbour's housewarming for a couple of hours. I agreed, saying I had loads of work to do, so couldn't be out late. She didn't finish getting ready till nearly ten, by which time I didn't feel like going. We were at the party till 1 and were the last ones there. I was driving and offered to go home on my own, but she insisted that she would have to go at the same time, huffed and puffed about it and generally stropped. During the evening she informed everyone that I was taking anti depressants and that my xdh gambled, repeated the same stories over and over, told me that she was going away as no one cared about her and then tried to get me to go out to a club with her, knowing I've got work in the morning.

I was supposed to be staying at hers tonight, but she was so drunk and vile, I dropped her off and came home - which she'll no doubt be raging about.

The thing is, I often get told I'm attractive - but with her I feel v low. She just phoned to tell me she's been in bed all day upset over my behaviour.

I feel guilty though because she can be nice too

In bed all day upset?

Bloody woman.

You need to get yourself to a place where that doesn't make you feel guilty. Stately Homes, now!

My mother tried to ruin my 3 yo's birthday party, big drama, starting argument, storming out... A week later I got a poison pen letter signed with her initial, not "mum" all "I just need to know why you humiliated me..."

Now, I tell you this only to share my reaction. It was a mild internal "Oh FFS stop embarrassing yourself". Then I binned it.

It really is possible to get away from the drama you know Flowers
