Yes. I would feel hurt. Deeply so too.

 

Wow. I can really understand your feelings...I would have felt pretty much the same way, I feel. She is basically not valuing you. All you can really do is stop the cycle...and value yourself by making different choices. You basically should protect yourself...your time, your energy, your resources as your mom does not know how to respect it.

 

Please draw firm boundaries and stick with them. Those are her issues to sort out and do not allow yourself to become a part of that drama. Lock valuables away...or move away. You are being disrespected and undervalued...and that is serious but only you can rectify it. The easiest and simplest way to start drawing boundaries are with the words 'no' and sometimes, 'goodbye'/.

 

I wish you the best.
