Sincerely, you need to seat down and observe her very well and know her temperament type, from all your complain, she might be Melancholy-Sanguine---

This set of people like to act like Choleric, no matter how it is, your mom is your mom, learn how to relate with her in a calm way, if she request for thing you think is not need by her, just tell her you will get it for her but not now as you are not buoyant at the moment, say it in a friendly manner.

always advice her with the world of God.
I pray she change for better as you hope IJN

It's draining dealing with my mom everytime she comes to the city to stay in the same house with me. I live in my elder sister's house but she (my sister) stays abroad with her family. I am the last child and I am not married. I work from home though. My mum visits here once in a while. Anytime she comes around she does a lot of things that spoils my mood. For instance, she doesn't like taking her children's advice no matter how important it is to them. She likes having her way all the time. And when we try to stop her, she guilt trips us and emotionally blackmails us.

I have other siblings who do not live with me but they used to come around with their children anytime mom is around. My father is back home and hardly visits. She doesn't listen to my dad if he advices her.

Mom will first and foremost get someone upset, and when the person complains, she will watch out for one negative word that will slip out from your mouth and use it to emotionally blackmail you. She will cry because of what you said to her until you feel guilty and beg her to forgive you. She also likes reporting her child to another of her child without minding if it would damage their relationship.

She likes making her child feel bad so long as she has her way and she is happy. She pays no attention to the feelings of her children anytime she wants anything. For instance, My mom can make you spend money on something that she already has. Sometimes she will drag for something that she doesn't even need. She feels as a mother all her children must make her happy else they don't like her.

Also, She is terrible with conversations both on phone and physically. If you try to have a one on one talk with her, she will make the conversation very unpleasant because she will keep interrupting, next thing she will cry or she will get up and leave you.

She never sees her fault. Even if she apologies, she would do the same thing again and blame you for making her do it.

If she comes around and everywhere is peaceful, after a short while argument will begin which may lead to a fight.

This is because she likes jamming one person with another person and eventually make them quarel. She enjoys adding words that was never in the conversation when she is reporting somebody to another perosn. Most times those words are very hurting and will lead to a fight. And when the fight begins, she will start crying. Sometimes she would intentionally fall on the ground while trying to separate a fight, just to make sure everybody runs helter-skelter trying to get her up on her feet.

She has blood pressure issues, hence she uses that as a weapon to guilt-trip her children so they can succumb to her demands. For instance, if she says things that are not true about her child to another of her child and the person finds out, once you confront her, she would say " don't query me oh, shey you know my blood pressure would soon go up. I didn't kill my mother, don't kill me oh." Or she will just start crying and say the person hates her and what was said isn't true, and that she never said anything like that. She denies the things she says that are bad soon after she says them.

Gosh, I am just tired of my mom. I feel like packing out of this house, blocking her and not letting her come close to me because of how emotionally draining it is everytime she comes around.


If you as the child is complaining like this , I wonder what your dad would have gone through eversince he got married to your mum.
All I can say , it is well

Be patient with her, one day she will no longer be here. Make good use of the time she's with you and create lovely memories even though I know it's hard considering what you just typed but tryyyyyy.

Another useless piece of advice. The victim always suffers low self-worth that displays in their relationships and other works of life.

You can't bear such mums... I had my fair share and I say you can't bear such mums. You will always be depressed because if na babe, you for leave am... But when it's your mum it's hard to abandon her and it's equally hard to take all those rubbish.

You are Igbo right?

She is your mom, when women grows older, they tends to behave like kids.

It's a normal thing.

You can never have it all good in this life.

She is your mum, avoiding won't change that rather it will fuel her manipulations.

Simply keep tolerating her as much as you can and if she can read text messages on phone, send her your frustration after she goes back to the village. Let her ponder on that.

Also, if you can get all your siblings to take one stand and caution her, she will stop her shenanigans.

Mad man wey dey dance for market na because someone dey watch am. Once everyone decides to face their front for market, he go get sense by force.


Lol, another childish advice... All of you experienced a nonmanipulative mum. No matter the caution and advice... They will still be the same way.

If Jesus likes... He should come and talk to her, she will still be like that.

The best advice, travel out and stay out. Or get your apartment in a distant place in the country.

Lol,
Your mum is the real drama queen, honestly

I praise your dad for being able to cope with her all these periods

Now back to her attitude among the whole members of the family

If you all sees her just the way you saw her, read her attitude and understand her, then she can't be using you guys head

I swear she will never trip you guys off

If what she does to you is what she does to others, then you guys should understand that she is a real drama

If you pack out and get another place to live, she must come and if you refuses her coming, she will tell the whole world that you don't want her to come and visit you and that the her BP is now beyond control, then every one will blame you

So I think you just have to manage that her attitude just the same way your dad has wore it as a cloth

That's the power of being patient with crazy people

She is a narcissist, study how to live with one and love her from a distance. Also don't talk too much when you are with her. Yes or no responses will do just fine to avoid blackmail. Use your head and love her from afar. Visitations should be when necessary expecially during events

Re: Should I Avoid My Mom? by Swaelyf(f): 2:32pm On Apr 27, 2023
my mum is exactly like this like there is no family friend or relative whom she doesnt complain to and most of the things she says are things that never happened and later when she has issues with them they use them against her, like the same ppl supporting her will literally tell her that she is always frustrating her child and how can a mother say such things about her own child to every1 she meets, i have let it stop bothering me. ever since i got a job and moved out i rarely go home and if i have to i make sure its not more than a night i spend there because if its 2 nights then i wont rest. i saw shege when i was living with her.. imagine going to work and coming back at night to meet a kitchen i cleaned very dirty with used plates from my younger brother and they expect me to clean that up, if i complain i would not have peace. My best advice distance yourself from her provide what you can for her when you can and talk to her on the phone when you can the distance will help you mentally and she may also realize how far she pushed you

truthCoder:


Your mum is a manipulative gaslighter. That is the fact.

To survive around manipulators, you first need to avoid interactions with them as much as possible. For unavoidable interactions, allow the gaslighter to talk, say ok you have heard and do EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO in the first instance. Repeat this as a loop.

Dont fight or try to argue with a manipulator. They will hold on to any wrong word. Instead, do the listening. Ask questions to clarify their positions and say ok.

Ok no dey cause fights.

Say ok but remember to do exactly what you wanted to do.

Manipulator: you cannot eat rice in this house today because putin did this and buhari did that.
You: ok
Then you proceed to eat your rice.
After they notice you ate rice and they flare up, you feign ignorance, act like you didn’t hear them the first time, reverse the psychology on them etc.

Anything you do, just dont argue. Reduce confrontations to just simple statements but do exactly what you want to do.

When she reports you and the other person calls, just laugh it off. Remind the person that they should know ‘how mummy use to do’ . If the person is boiling too much, just say ok. Don’t argue.

When she realizes that you are just an ok machine with no interest in fights, she will look for someone else to fight with.

Remember, ok no dey cause fight
