Crazy mother visiting - always been a truly difficult relationship (incessant chatterer, very negative all the time, needy and prone to aggressive and passive aggressive outbursts - oh and she is never ever wrong!)
I am fairly low contact anyway as she doesn’t believe in calling us - hasn’t for over 10 years.
anyhow she’s visiting and another week to go!
I am literally on the edge - being pretty mean to her because I just cannot handle being talked at non-stop for 14 hours a day - she doesn’t talk to me just at me - ppl I don’t know, facts I don’t want to know, comments (always nasty) about everyone and everything. I really want to explain that we all need some down time each day but that will cause a huge argument. She won’t drive so I have to take her out everywhere, gets up as soon as she hears me and stays up at night until midnight…. Currently locked in my bedroom but have to get up and face the very long day ahead soon (we are abroad so only 8.30am here!)
how can I get through this? Any tips?
