Quote From: deanna1954My mother has this problem. She has always had a terrible temper, but this last year, she has become uncontrollable. She screams and swears and says such horrible things. My brothers and I have stopped all communications with her. When she does contact one of my brothers, it is to scream and carry on. She says everyone has driven her to be this way, and this is her right. She blames everyone else for her problems, and says she wishes she had never had children. Well, her children are ages 52, 48, and 42. We have tried everything we can think of besides committing her and are at our wits end. It has been almost 12 months since I have had any contact with her, and I am so thankful, as she is so toxic to me that I finally had to stand my ground. I am hoping to one day to know maybe she can be better and at least be civil to family. Our family has had alot of tragedies, and she has driven all the rest of the family away. No one will take her calls anymore, because she has abused every family member. What a travesty!! I guess I don't understand how someone can be so angry all the time at SO many people. So sad.
Did you ever think about why your mother acts this way? I am a mother who has the same problem with my children (all over the age 30). In one of these episodes (and the last one)
I found out my children were angry over the fact I was not in their lives when they were growing
up. They were told that I did not care about them, that men and booze was more important than
they were. When they found out the truth of it was, I did care about them. I gave both a large box
of letters, cards, and other correspondance that spanned 20 some years. They learned of a lot of things that prevented us being together as a family. Today we have a nice small family and we are enjoying each other as well as getting to know each other. Today I have a son and daughter to enjoy along with nine grandchilren ranging from 11 to 8 months. Hopefully before I
die which should be around August 2007 (and hopefully fate will not repeat itself) I will find
another son and daughter and their families to make my family a little larger and re-unite ALL
of my children.
