But she is still your mom...

People who do not know the real story would say that I know. But sometimes, she gets on my nerves. She is insecure, jealous, negative, selfish, and so on. Her brother and sisters have had enough of her. My brother left the house as he could no longer stand her. Our relatives do not like her presence. Also my cousins and relatives on my paternal side. There are times that I want to say right to her face that she is narcissistic. Her presence ruins my day, my cousins' day, my brother's day ---everyone's day. I feel sorry for her sometimes because it seems none of her relatives like her. I cannot blame them. However, she is popular as a one-call-away person in our neighborhood. Unbeknownst to them how she treats her own blood. I am taking sleeping supplements and planning to see a psychiatrist because I think she is the cause of my many sleepless nights.

It is very difficult to change other people if not from their own awareness and desire. You have to dare to make boundaries if you feel uncomfortable. Sometimes, living with toxic family members keeps us from growing and our emotions, mentality also affect us.

I am so sorry to hear that. It is a good idea to see a psychiatrist because in the long run she will ruin your health.

From where I'm seeing, your mother needs help more than you.

Sorry to hear that. It must be hard. I hope that the psychiatrist help works for you. I strongly feel that your mom also needs some sort of professional help.

That sounds really bad. I hope the psychiatrist can help you, and that you especially can start to get some sleep.
