How would you handle this with your mother (or father for the guys)?
I got in a fight with my mother recently and she said at one point "You always flaunted your boyfriends in front of me since you were a teenager." ?????????????????? WTF???
When I asked for more explanation she said "You would flaunt them in front of me like you were thinking 'Poor mom doesnt have a boyfriend' " I told her I had no idea where she got that and it really bohthered me. She said "Maybe it upsets you so much because there's truth in it." Another time we talked about it and I told her I was really upset by it she said "Well my mother said really weird things to me." The hell???? Like that makes it ok????
I am completely shocked. I never looked at my mother the way she thinks and my mother was a very attractive successful single woman and a lot of men seemed interested in her. My mom was sexually abused a lot as a kid though and has never been able to have a healthy/real relationship with a guy.
Anyway.. how would this make you feel? How would you handle it. I am not interested in mainting a relationship with her after this as I am very insulted and dont trust her anymore somehow.
