Reply #10: I've been the only one of 4 kids who's gotten along with her for the last

[elehhhhna]

20 years. I gave her pity but its never enough-she'll suck you dry complaining about the grass in her front yard (I am NOT exaggerating here). I stopped her from trashing my siblings to me but she still tries to sneak in a zinger whenever possible. I found out recently she'd turned on me and i was finally "at bat" -- she blabbered all sorts of nasty things, mostly made up, some with a scintilla of truth--and it's like my whole friggin childhood came smashing through the roof of my house. I'm 10 again. I'm the sole source of all her problems, from migraines to undiagnosed crohns disease, anxiety, and a goddam seizure disorder to boot. (All that finally got attention when I hit 30 and forced her to see some specialists instead of her quack doctor. I guess I became the Mother, She kinda liked that now that I think of it.)

thank you for letting me vent. I really don't know whether to laugh or cry.
