My family has our own share of issues that we face. My mother lives in Virginia close to where my older sister lives. I have not spoken to my mother in many years. That is because she is not a very nice person and tries to make different family members upset for many reasons. Then she seems to enjoy when people get upset. My mother has a lot of money and she uses it to try to control everybody. Finally I told her one day that I wished the best for her...but I choose to not speak with her again. I think she has no real love in her heart for anybody and only gets jealous/upset at other family members. I told her that although she has lots of money.. that if she were to ever die... please don't leave any money for me. I want to make my life by myself. I am sure she has a big surprise for everybody at her death to make people upset... and this way I do not have to participate with her crazy ideas. My life is a lot more balanced since I decided to live without my mothers eyes watching and judging me. I know we are supposed to honor our parents but for me it is more important to set boundaries ...
