My mom has a tendency to get really emotionally involved when she feels someone has wronged her. She's always been this way. She was abusive when I was a kid, she stopped the abuse...but she can be emotionally abusive when she feels I am wrong and won't apologize to her. She usually sends really long, angry text messages. She's also always told me I won't be able to find someone better when I say I don't feel happy in my marriage. She has a really bad relationship and likes to compare others to hers and say "I don't feel for you, look what I have to go through". She's put up with emotional and physical abuse from a relationship of 20 years...and has even admitted disregarding her kids for it. Her and my stepdad stayed over close to 6 days in our small one bedroom apartment, which was probably a bad idea. Next time, IF there's a next time, I'm going to have to impose a 3 day rule, because after 4 or 5 days, everyone starts to get on each others nerves. She's saying we're all idiots for not listening to her about our issues and being really childish and immature about it.

I know how you feel. My mom was physically abusive to me as a kid & is now verbally abusive. The thing is I'm unemployed & can't move out. She has also scuttled a few career opportunities for me. Living with family especially as you get older isn't a good idea.
