I just want to shake your mother and tell her to wake up!! I really hope that I am not in my 70s and still reeling about my own mother. Let's hope! Mine has complained about her life every day of her life. I am so glad I don't have to listen to that shit anymore. I've said this before but it's just another good display of what you don't want to do/be to your own kids. You are breaking that chain, girl! All while you have to take those annoying phone calls but you rise above and keep putting those boundaries in place. <3
