She is going to try everything she can to ruin it for me, so unfortunately i have to limit my communication with her, which makes me sad. she knows i am so happy here.
Each quick hello ends up with her dumping on me, and my feeling like total crap for not being there.
This goes back so far, and its so deep. i cannot imagine doing this to my kids.

I am sorry to hear about your strained relationship with your mother.
My situation is very stressful because of my work load and business travel. My mother and I get along okay for short periods of time but eventually get on each other's nerves. I am the only one left in my family so it is my responsibility to take care of her and help to enrich her life.
I respect her and honor her because she is my mother. It is not easy but it is necessary
