I think I might need to cut contact with my mum. I invited her over for lunch and drinks at ours. My brothers came, one with a girlfriend I hadn't met before and my stepdad and gran. We made lunch for everyone, made sure everyone had plenty of wine, beer, Cider, gin and soft drinks. My mum poured herself large glasses of gin and got aggressively drunk. She was obviously looking to start an argument and started questioning me about why I still talk to my aunty that she's fallen out with. I changed the subject but she kept pushing. I said to my stepdad 'I think mum is wanting an argument but I just want to have a nice day.'
She overheard and said to me in front of everyone 'i don't know why you are siding with him, he used to say you smelled everytime you walked past when you were 13.'
I calmly said to her that I possibly did smell, dd(13) certainly does sometimes and as a mother it would have been her job to make sure I kept myself clean. I said that as I am now 38 years old, I wasn't sure why she was saying this at a party where she had enjoyed my hospitality.
She went outside and burst into tears and said she didn't know what she had done wrong.
My stepdad said that she drove off in her car when they got home. She was very drunk. It's not the first time.😡 She also has form for this type of behaviour.
