I feel so bad for you!! You just don't deserve this.
Your mother's reaction kind of reminds me of how fighting is treated in schools. The administration so often passes off the problem by saying, "Oh, it's both of them...it takes 2 to tango...." No, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes, it's a clear case of one person bullying and attacking another. Period. They also tell kids not to "tattle," which I can understand if it's just an annoyance, but sometimes, an adult needs to know.
I hope you can find a place in your psyche, a "drawer" that you can put this stuff in so it's more or less out of the picture. Easier said than done, of course...I'm not very good at it. My hubby is great...he "compartmentalizes" things in his brain, and they're just plain gone until he chooses to pull them out again. Then, of course, he also remembers where he put them.
Sending you kind thoughts, AV ~ you are worth so much more than you are being given credit for.
