Message: <blockquote data-quote="jdavis" data-source="post: 673001" data-attributes="member: 8704">I was in my mid 20's, much more than a child, I never wanted to kill my parents, but that's not the point, sometimes it's not what she said it's that she just won't shut up, even when you agree with her, annoyance made me angry a lot of times, I guess that is me projecting my lack of patience.  Yes and no, what was said in front of my children was not something I felt badly about that got to me it was that it was said in front of a 10 year old that didn't need to hear it. The fact that she won't leave my mother alone even though she knows my mother cannot deal with that stuff (she has a actual doctor's excuse to avoid her, that's pretty bad), I guess me not wanting my mother to die of a stroke due to high blood pressure and stress could be considered a weakness she has exploited, but I really don't feel personally bad about my mother's blood pressure, I don't feel responsible for it. She does hit a lot of spots where I do feel bad about but as I said that doesn't bother me as much as I have already hit those spots myself, I accepted my personal flaws long ago, She just won't let up on anything and you sit there grinding your teeth wanting to gag her. I really don't want to hear all my faults listed and why she thinks I have them and how she thinks I should fix them and on and on, over Christmas dinner.</blockquote>
