I wanted to tell you all that I took your advice and I'm doing great.I took the advice of giving my mom one last chance. Long story short, the electrician they hired for us as a wedding present assaulted my husband when we asked him to repair a hole he caused in our floor. (My husband had just gone through surgery the previous day and was on percocet the time of the assault.) My mom got mad at us when we told her we were pressing charges. She and my father said we needed to be nice to him so he could come back over so he could finish the job. My dad said he spoke with the electrician. The electrician told my dad it wasn't my father's responsibility to help us since we're not kids anymore. My dad said he agreed and kept telling me this. My mom kept yelling at me about how we were overracting. (BTW, the commissioner said he will be charged with 2nd degree assault.)I distanced myself for 2 weeks until today. This morning I wrote them an email telling them what I needed in a reltionship with them and that I tried so hard to have a better one with them. My mother wrote me an email back stating she has given me so much, and listed about 15 things. All of them were based on money. I wrote back to her and said she proved my point with her own list. I told her that I needed to move on and have more positive forces in my life. She said "You have your wish." I wrote back one last time and said "It's not my 'wish,' it is me loving and caring for myself." And that was the end of it.I feel so much better now. Like an enormous weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. And I don't feel guilty at all. I can only see it getting better from here.THANK YOU AUNTS!!!
