I realize that part of the problem is that she gets away with doing things. It's really hard for me to stand up to people when they upset me, but I will definitely speak with her about how she makes me feel.
Thanks again for taking the time to read my post.

I haven't read past this post, but I have to say.. this is EXACTLY why she does stuff like that.
I have spent years tiptoeing around my mother. Not doing things I wanted to do.. or doing things I never wanted to do.... (like her being in the delievery room when DD1 was born) because it was easier than listening to her pitch a fit. I don't know how many times I have told DH he couldn't do something or not to say something because I dind't want to start a war.
Last fall.. when I stood my ground and refused to do something she wanted me to do cause I HAD to do my taxes (the last extension was 2 days away.) she threw a screaming fit and screamed in my face. I demanded an apology and we haven't spoken in 6 months. She has missed the three youngest kids birthdays.. all major holidays.. my birthday.. her birthday, my son talking, learning his alphabet my daughter learning to ride her bike.. all because she a stubborn UAV and couldn't get her way. Fine we are better off without her. Stand your ground no matter the consequences.... otherwise she will keep walking all over you and you will resent her more and more.
