Am I overanalyzing?
I know I have written this on this topic couple of times. But recently it is really affecting my thoughts and mind. My mom always thinks I am overanalytical.
I lost my dad in 2018 to cardiac arrest and my mom lives alone in India. She had come here to help me with my baby and ended up staying longer than expected because of covid! She behaved quite toxic: snatched my baby away from me, told me to get lost on her behalf, told my baby that only grandma knows it's all and that her parents don't know or understand the baby. My husband had a lot of issues with her and definitely affected his mind how she behaved, on top of that she called me irresponsible towards my baby during my pregnancy since she felt I wasn't eating enough when in fact I was eating right, don't gain too much weight. She used to come to my appointments and also had my obgyn tell her that I am doing it right. She always said during her 8 months stay that she is never coming back ( once she told me my dad would be ashamed of me when I threw in some boundaries and told her to back off)
As a child she always called me a dramatist who should join drama association club. Always told me I am like my aunt whom she hates.
She has been estranged from her own mom since my grandmom dint care a damn when my dad slipped into coma and passed away.
Today I was just video chatting with my mom and she ALWAYS wants to see my baby and today she told my baby that she ( my baby is my mom's mother since my baby calms/comforts her) I found it VERY wierd and told her NO, she is just a baby. Honestly I just feel like my mom is losing her mind and acting like nuts and it's not healthy at all!
I was suggested to put in some boundaries which I have. I used to talk to her everyday but now I only do like twice a week ( I can't cut her off since she lives alone and has been pretty much estranged from a lot of family members).
I just don't know what to do!
