Don't want to see mother at xmas

The title says it all really. I have never had a good relationship with her. She has been mentally and emotionally abusive all of my 50 years. The final straw has come as my brother died of cancer in August and she couldn't have been more uncaring and unkind about his illness if she tried. I haven't seen or spoke to her since his funeral in September as I'm too angry. I'm hearing on the grapevine that shes telling anyone who'll listen that she can't go on and I'm not phoning or visiting her but it's all to play the victim that she's extremely good at. She has no other family but she has plenty of companions who I'm sure one of them will invite her. There will be plenty who will think I'm evil but they're probably have a normal mum so won't know what it's like.

You are a grown year old woman with your own life you don't have to see anyone you don't want to including your mother. You don't have to justify why.

As above.

I'm sorry about your brother.💐

Don't give a single thought to what she's telling other people. Let that be, and just look after yourself as well as you can.
