> I wouldn't even roll my eyes, it's not fair. We all create our own history. The extent we do it to is the extent to which we're having problems. Just because our parents are ours, doesn't mean they deserve less empathy than we give each other here.
Well I suppose it's not kind, and I definitely would want to aspire to not wanting to feel like rolling my eyes, not just keep myself from doing it. However when the revisionist history involves her claiming I said something that I know I did not, when I have witnesses who also know this and then having my mother say that we all must have terrible memories then.. and proceed to argue with me about what a horrible selfish thing it was for me to say..
it's extremely difficult not to respond in some way. She's not dx'd with anything, and in her own words, she doesn't need therapy because "She's not the one with the problems"
