Another Update on my Mom - from my Brother
So, my brother informed me that my Mom called him about an hour after our court mediation last week and flipped out on him. During mediation, I had some "proof" that my brother gave me (and said I was free to use) that my Mom was going to other family members and defaming me to them, making false claims, trying to get everyone against me, including my brother, etc. My Mom was fired up that my brother would "go against her" like that.
Well, he's in the military, and pretty high up in rank, he doesn't have the time of day or care in the world to deal with my nutcase mother. He stopped talking to her for four years because of something she did to him and his wife, so he knows all about her manipulative ways.
She basically called him and said, "I can't believe you are giving information to her. Don't believe any of her lies!" My brother went off on her. He said he's been holding it in too long.
I just can't believe how far one person would go. All my Mom had to do in the very beginning was respect my privacy and/or sit down with me to discuss any problems. But no, she takes me to court.
Re: Another Update on my Mom - from my Brother
I'm sorry your mother is such a jerk. It really makes me appreciate how great my family is, even when I ignored their warnings about XH they were there for me when it totally blew up in my face.
I know it's tough for you, I'd say just keep her out of your life, keep the emotion out of it. It's worked for me and cutting people assoociated with XH out.
I am really sorry that you have to go through this. You shouldn?t have to be dealing with this at all. (((HUGS)))
