How do you deal with something like this-OT

12/27/06 10:33 AM

This isn't divorce related but it's been bugging me for 4 days. On Christmas Eve the girls and I called my mom who lives about 500 miles away. I tried calling all day and there was no answer and the answering machine wasn't on. That should have been the first clue I was in for hell, because it's a little game she plays but I let it go because of the holiday. We finally got ahold of her in the evening and she immediately started yelling at me. (I guess because I was having a good Christmas this year.) This is something I've dealt with my entire life. So instead of listening to her yell I got the girls so they could talk to her.(I didn't think she'd do that to them) I heard my 12 yo say "Well you'd be here too if you didn't move away." So I assumed she made a nasty comment about my dad being at our house.

The last straw was when she was talking to my 9yo and she kept saying "I'm sorry Grandma" over and over in a pitiful voice. I thought "No way in hell is she going to do to my kids what she always did to me." So I went and got the phone from her and said "You can be as pissy as you want to me but don't do it to the kids" She hung up on me and my 9yo laid on her bed and sobbed for a half hour. I was so upset.

I refuse to call her back. I didn't that night and I won't. I started writing a letter but don't know if I should mail it. I can't even get into the things she said to the kids but it was stuff that was none of her business.

For the first time, though I didn't let it get me upset and ruin my holiday. I just wish I knew why she acted like this. It makes life hard.

When we were together, you said you'd die for me. Now, I think it's time you kept your promise.
