I’m starting to strongly dislike my mom, this is just a vent

She wasn’t the greatest mother, and now that I’m older I’m starting to think she really wasn’t a good mother at all. Idk where to start but to sum her up, my mom is that evil MIL. lol So my mom always had some smart shit to say, or always wanted to brag or be that person to say “I told you” And most of the time growing up even as an adult I used to just let her say whatever. But now I don’t especially when it comes to my kids. However we always did but heads, it be times where I wouldn’t speak to her and then something happened& so I didn’t speak nor see her for years that she didn’t get to meet my first until she turned 2 years old. Sometimes I try to have the sympathy for her that she’s alone and she just needs to say shit to make herself feel better but lately when she say some dumb or unnecessary stuff to me or about my kids I instantly fight back. And thennn she’s not even a good grandmother she expects me to always bring my kids to her but can never come to us & she’s not even that old. In my culture we do stick with our parents & help them, so it makes me feel guilty about distancing myself from her, again. But she’s very negative & let’s say toxic. I ignore her most of the time when in front of my kids but when she say something rude to my kids I without hesitation nor thinking say something back to her. And she is the type to get extremely mad and start to wish bad upon someone or call my sister to talk about me say this and that. This is just a vent but do any of u have a parent like this and how r u dealing with them. I sometimes want to cut her off but same time I don’t. I grew up without a father but I’ve noticed that I do look for a mother’s comfort in older women that I cross paths with, whether it’s a boss/co-worker or instructor of some sort.

Not much to say here but I haven’t spoke to my mum for three months Infact my parents because my mum done some fucked up shit and refuse to apologise. Made up my mind until she apologises I’ll probably not talk to her anymore . My mum is exactly like yours and my dad is backing her bad behaviour

Sounds like my grandma. She’s a lonely bitter woman who never gets visits from family and can’t understand why. It’s amazing to me how she lacks the ability to see all her wrong doings 🫤

Sounds like my mom. I just cut her off and never looked back. The relationship was very one sided. She gets way more out of me, when I could really just go without her noise. Also sounds like my grandma. I want to break this cycle and not be this kind of person. It’s very meddlesome.

Kinda sounds like my mom, but she’s gotten better mostly because I started speaking up for myself. I have kinda started resenting her because she hasn’t come by to my place or offered to help me which I understand, she’s tired from working and taking care of my special needs brother, but it would be nice to have her visit once in a while. Especially because it’s work getting the baby ready for the car ride. So far, we’ve gone to her place and she did offer to buy us groceries since I was laid off, but that’s only if I go over there. I’ve just felt lonely recently and would appreciate her coming over atleast over the weekends. I think what bugged me the most was that she kept saying “I just want you to have a child of your own so you can see what I went through” knowing I’ve miscarried multiple times. It would have been nice to say something hopeful or supporting. It’s like she forgets that I was there every step of the way as The oldest and “second parent” to my 3 younger siblings.
