This is probs more of a rant so feel free to ignore. She was my caretaker for a long time (TBI at age 9, now I'm 26) and since I moved out last year, our relationship obviously changed as I was making another step to being an independent adult. With distance from her I've realized she can be a pretty selfish person. I think I put her on a pedestal for a long time bc I felt like she "saved" me by being my advocate. Eventually a friend of mine said "you know that's what a parent is supposed to do right? Take care of and support their child?"
Well during a strained but calm conversation she started an argument and at one point yelled something like "I gave up everything for you and now you're betraying me" and (from what I can guess?) her reasoning for me betraying her is that I was gently calling her out on some crappy behavior, had my dad take me to the ER when I was having a medical issue she previously brushed off and didn't call her, and that I apparently don't visit her enough? Like woman my day to day existence has me so fatigued I can't work more than 15 hours a week. I haven't hung out with my best friend in months. And it's a two way street. I forget about things that aren't in front of me so if you never text me, I won't think about talking to you.
This is just the cherry on top of a lot of crap I've been getting from her for a while now. Still trying to figure out what to do about her since I think I want her in my life still but she needs some serious therapy and to be actually honest with said therapist. Sorry for the rant. Just processing since this was from late last night.
