Me nor any of my siblings are speaking to my mom. I can talk about why she is how she is, but either way we have decided we can not live with her in our lives. She plays favorites, totally manipulative, narcissistic, plays the martyr role, has down the Jewish guilt. And it is not just with her children she does this with her grandchildren as well, which is sad. On top of it all, she sued us in Jewish court (dealing with Jewish Laws) on a loan my grandfather (my fathers dad) had given as a mortgage on the home. I can talk about that but the truth is she picked $40,000 over her children. Oh and she had the lawsuit form served to my brother the weekend fo his sons bar MItzvah (turning of age, a very important big celebration).
I have no desire to bring her craziness in to my life, especially now that I have a daughter I do not see that she offers anything positive, everything around her is negative. At the same time the hardest saddest thing for me is while I talk about her, at times or gossip, i never cried, i do not seem to feel sad about it (at least on the surface), and that disturbs me the most.
