How should I respond to moms latest crazy antics?
Thank you all for taking the time to respond. I know in my head that I need to let her be but sometimes my heart just won’t let go. It’s a moot point either way. I never met the guy (though I did talk to him a few times) and it didn’t last a month (not his choice, her choice, he was calling me and asking me how he could make it work because he was serious about this and I believe he is still in contact with my sister). I felt bad for the guy but it is honestly for the best. My mom is not stable right now. She isn’t taking her meds and she is drinking a lot. I would say she was most likely in a manic phase when she married him given that I haven’t heard her sound like that in years and I found out she wasn’t taking her Lithium regularly. Each time I struggle with myself and my interactions with my mom I do come away with new perspective and I have realized not to beat myself up for everything, so there is a positive side to this for me. I think I am getting stronger in regards to my mom
