I wish I could tell you how infuriating it is to talk to my mother. Anytime I say anything at all having to do with the truth, if I were to say somthing like that to her she would viciously defend herself and say she wasn't doing that, and become again, a three year old. So the only thing I can do is get off the phone, I guess. I'm so mad right now--I was so mad talking to her I wanted to shake her, and worse. She just invalidates every single solitary thing of importance I say, and becomes psychotically defensive.
Still I very much appreciate what you've written; I'm trying on all sorts of possible things I could say anyway, and then just hang up if I have to. I'm thinking maybe I'll say I simply cannot talk to her anymore if she's going to mention my brother's name.
I'm going to go lie down.
