What else can I do?","appBody":"<p>Sometimes parents have a tendency of being overly reactive being verbally abusive and also a bit tensed up, when you meant toxic behaviours I'm actually thinking one of these that I've mentioned, however if it turns out that it's definitely not one of these I'll actually like to know what you mean by toxic? If not so I'll like to comment on my perspectives towards your situation</p>\n<p>First I want to say that the distance you actually kept meant you stopped living with her or relating with her? This is definitely not uncommon, in Africa here our mums are always more than toxic, they lay too much complain, they find it difficult to respect our stances and they may even start doing things that may seem unbearable, trust me it's nothing too bad or unusual of a mother </p>\n<p>My instance and solution will be that, she's your mother and will forever remain your mother no matter the behavior she exhibits that's why you're her son, your responsibility to her as a son should not be staying away from her, it should be trying very hard to learning the reasons why she does the things she does and actually advising her against the consequences of her action.</p>\n<p>You have to mildly correct her if you think the things she does is wrong, you have to stay close to her because her actions may be as a result of her old age and staying away from her means neglecting a duty you owe to her by the virtue of being her son.</p>\n<p>Lastly I don't think you're a bad son, you only need to reconsider your stances, you'll have only one mother once in your lifetime and it's imperative you make the right decisions when it comes to your mother so the soloution will be that go back to her, iron out your difference and help her become a better mum by helping her to.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3lm9th85","appParentAuthor":"ss3333","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
