My relationship is very limited with my elderly mother.  I can't trust her.  I have to limit everything that I say to her, because she will twist it and then spread untrue gossip to other people.  I have forgiven her for the abusive way that she raised me.  I am thankful for a support group.  When people initially meet her, they think that she is nice.  They just don't know her well enough.  She has struggled with all of her friendships, co-workers, relatives.  I used to think that she was just cruel.  I think that she doesn't even realize how she treats other people.  I pray for her.  I know that she didn't choose to be this way.  It's just sad for everyone involved.  For my own sanity, I maintain as little contact as possible.
