How do you deal with a mother who is just hard work??

[unsureforevermore]

Honestly I am struggling to maintain a healthy relationship with my mum, it’s getting me down.

she doesn’t work, and her life is consumed by whatever she sees on X or tik tok - she must send me about 20 videos a day that’s on a good day! She’ll message me about all the theories she’s seen any sort of drama in the family she makes it 20 times worse and gets involved and then she’ll just message me about it every single day! I have 2 kids currently pregnant with my 3rd and it’s just getting to the point where I don’t even want to be around her.

I feel awful feeling like this and I would love nothing more than a proper relationship with her but I feel she’s just too far gone, she doesn’t have any hobbies we have no common ground to talk about anything apart from what we are having for tea.

I have posted about her before with stuff she has done I just feel like distancing myself massively but then I just worry about her on her own!

I have said to her many times I don’t wish to talk about how she thinks dinosaurs never existed or how she thinks certain celebrities are demons! I’ve said we just need to agree to disagree on things we won’t agree on no point talking about it!

I guess I’m just sad that we can’t ever do anything normal!

Why doesn't she work? Does she have friends or a partner? If I behaved like this with my kids they would soon stop returning my calls or messaging me. You are being very patient. To be honest she really doesn't sound well. I think you need to put in some firm boundaries. Don't return her calls immediately, don't reply to her for several days. Don't engage when she's ranting. Keep responses short and ignore her if she's sounding batshit.

she doesn’t work because she’s not mentally well enough to hold down a job and she has fibromyalgia so she doesn’t work. However it would really do her well if she did! No partner no to friends either. I know it’s exhausting to be honest I am really at my limit - I feel awful that I don’t enjoy being around her

She just sent me a video about dinosaurs actually being demons and then sent me this message.

Did you watch it the word dinosaur was invented in 1843 but the word dragon is in the bible dozens and dozens of times same as I told you about everything else a warrant has been issued for Beyonce and jay z for human hunting parties with little children they have it all everything we have been taught is a lie the Epstein files released yesterday showed people who smoke weed can’t be mind controlled either and weed is in the bible as the happy herb 😆😆😆😆I’m clutching my pearls waiting for the truth to be revealed and watch the normies spontaneously combust and at least a dozen prophets have spoken about the 24 hour rath of god to remove all the evil its called the great and terrible day of the lord and that’s written in the bible to lol 😂 let me tell you something nobody more powerful than god and he’s going to show people every evil demonic spirit will be removed from royalty

She sounds very mentally unwell. Can you contact her GP and tell them you are really concerned? She needs serious help.

@Gonefishingithink I dont think she would accept any help she doesn’t think she’s got an issues.
