You are my mother so I must love you, but I can no longer stand you living with me. I took you in to help you stay away from your abusive ex-husband, and the drugs. In this I have succeeded. In every other way you have abused my hospitality. All I have asked have been simple things. If I leave something on the kitchen table and then leave for an hour I expect it to still be there. If I leave with a program running on my computer I expect it to still be running when I get back. If I leave some cash in my bedroom I expect it to still be there, unless there is some huge emergency. This was supposed to be temporary until you could get on your feet. It has been close to two years now. You have made my life so much harder. You helped drive away my partner of many years. I cannot do this anymore. We cannot both live her any more, and it is my house damn it.

This is exactly why I refuse to let my mother live with me. Well in addition to her drinking, controlling, always on the cross, telling me how to raise my daughter & run my life…

Standing up for oneself is difficult, especially doing so in a way that does not cause pain. I believe in you. You can do it.
