My darling mother. I could start other threads about her awful abusive behaviour, selfish bullshit and DARVO that have gone on through my entire life but today its just a Christmas rant.
I had a childhood of battlefield bigamists Christmases, grew up hating the season and ditched doing it when I was about 18. Since having DC I do Christmas and its a merry time. This year, I have invited my DM for lunch, and after years of her spending it with my cowbag cousin & her closeted DH she said yes so is coming here. She can drive but refuses to (because of Covid
) so my lovely DH is driving a 100+ mile round trip to get her, and I will take her home this evening.
We are all vaccinated. Everyone at my house have taken LFTs all week, ahead of her visit because she is terrified of Covid. We are all clear. My DM has been grocery shopping, to see family, the hairdressers, went to a party at a neighbours yesterday so I asked her to take an LFT, she said fine, she has them in her house but hasn't done one before.
I've just called her to let her know DH is on his way and she hasn't taken a test. She refuses. She has boxes of them but wont use them. She says it will make her gag & she doesn't like it (awww diddums). She says she feels fine and the neighbour is a doctor so won't have covid 
.
DH hasn't seen his own DM in over a year, he's supposed to drive 300 miles on Boxing Day to visit her. DC birthday is later this week. If DH is sick our livelihood is in jeopardy, while DM is retired. My Darling mother doesn't give a shit about any of that, its all about her. As fucking always. Nobody else in the world matters at all.
She says she feels fine, won't take the test and is now refusing to come if I insist. The food is done, I've bought her a gift to unwrap (she won't have got me anything, she never does). She doesn't give a fuck does she? DH is almost at her house. WIBU to phone the selfish obstinate cow and tell her to just take 2 minutes out of her life to do a tiny fucking test or spend Christmas on her bloody own?
