So ready to disown a family member

Tweet

I'm so frustrated and angry that, once again, the thought of disowning my mother has come to mind. Before REALLY placing a judgment call about the type of person I am, please read the entire post first. I moved away from the small, redneck area that I was raised in in 1999. I've since lived primarily in small cities where everyone minds their own damn business or robs you whilst waiting at the corner for the bus. At any rate, people don't really care about what goes on in your personal life, etc. I got sick a few years ago and moved to be closer to my family. And I quickly realized that my mother was NOT the same person that had given birth to me and raised me by any means. I was raised not to judge people based from their race or religion. I was taught to respect people's privacy. Never judge a book by its cover. Ignore rumors. Simply put, I was taught not to hate. When I stayed at her home with my own family for about 6 months, I started to wonder how she had become the person that she was now showing to me. She had raised me playing role playing games, but to realize they are't reality.. just fun things to pass the time. She raised me watching a lot of horror and action flicks. Now, she's said that these things are the work of the devil. A very dear friend of mine, a Muslim, were close. She assumed that we were having an affair when he helped me out by sending me his old laptop for college.. and made nasty comments about his religion. My daughter's father usually cooked dinner, and while everyone else was eating, she would be upset that he wanted to do all of the dishes AFTER we ate and insisted that he do them while everyone was eating. I found out later that she had hidden a voice recorder in my bedroom. I dont know how long it was there. Now, whenever I call her, she always changes the conversation to talk about my younger sister, who also seems to have gone a little insane. She calls my stepmother "The Piggy." When I told her my step mother was dying of kidney failure, my mother was like "I'll believe it when I see it." Now there's been a story of a little boy that was beaten blind by a man that I shall call Mick. It has been confirmed that the boy is indeed now blind. The police were called but no charges have been presented against Mick. Instead, the boy's mother started a "Prayer Chain" facebook chain where she said that Mick caused the boy to go blind. As a result, others are posting more and more personal information about Mick, essentially calling for a witch hunt. I mentioned to my mother that it bothered me, but when she realized who I was talking about she suddenly sided. She knows the little boys parents. And according to her, "Witch hunts fueled by rumors around here often have truth to them." Because she's seen it. People spread nasty rumors about me all of the time.. And when I pointed that out to her and that those rumors werent true, I asked her if she'd approve of a witch hunt for me. At that point she shaddup and hasn't bothered to reply. It saddens me that I've grown tired of her childish behavior to the point that I want to just disown her, but seriously... I just don't know anymore how I possibly came from her. :(
