    Been thinking long and hard about this one. I could really do with some advice.
    For as long as I can remember I've not had the best relationship with my mother. She's basically bitter about divorcing my father and has done her best to let us all know that she was treated badly by my father. Which was true. But she won't move on. She has displayed passive aggressive behaviour with me especially since I got married. I know she's angry with me for getting married and being happy, and I know she tried to sh!t stir with my family about me and my husband even down to telling outright lies about us. So I decided to minimise my contact with her but didn't cut contact entirely.Phoned my mother for Mother's Day to wish her a happy Mother's Day and to ask about her day.She made it very plain she didn't want to speak to me. I'm fed up with her behaviour and now want to cut all contact with her. Am I wrong for feeling this way? Any advice you could give me would be great.

    Who knows really. Depends how toxic it is really. You really have to answer that yourself.

    I'd be inclined to limit contact more. Post your cards, send flowers by inter flora - that type of thing. Do same for Xmas & birthday.

    But it is your decision to make as to how much of a negative effect she is having on your life and affecting your headspace.
