I know how you feel! I am also 30 and feel a lot of intense anger at my mother. I was also physically looked after, but emotionally drained, manipulated, berated, invalidated, etc.-and she STILL does this to me! It certainly doesn't stop in childhood. I feel very angry at her almost every day, and I know this isn't healthy, either. I recently moved back to my hometown and she lives here. I was away at college in another city and didn't see too much of her. When I got back, we started seeing each other every week, but that led to terrible situations. I have been in therapy for many years, and find it very helpful. I also read books about toxic parents. Information is good, and it is also good to learn about how emotionally abusive people function. They have patterns of behavior. You can learn to recognize them. I avoid my mother. I don't go over to her house, and I don't do much with her. I feel guilt at times about this, but it is for my own sanity. If she keeps up her behavior (and so far shows zero signs of changing), I may not see much of her ever again. That is the way it goes. I am in a relationship, too. And a crazy mom will put a real strain on it. I am glad my boyfriend is smart and recognizes her behavior often before I do. My mother knows how I feel. Maybe not all of it, but enough of it. I have told her. I have tried to come to a good place with her, but it isn't happening. I don't think it ever will. Detachment from an abusive person can be a very good thing.
