Well, not to get all Dr. Phil/Tough Lovin' on your meatloaf dropping behind, but girlfriend, you have two choices: You can either learn to forgive your mother for her past failings and accept her for who she is (your one and only mother) and decide that her manipulations are not going to bother you any more OR decide that she is too toxic a presence in your life and, since she does nothing to help you out and never has, completely cut off contact from her.
You can EITHER have her in your life and ignore the manipulation OR get her out of your life. But you can't have her in your life AND complain about it for the rest of yours. You are a GROWN UP now.
