My mom has been blowing up my phone everyday for the past couple of weeks. I can’t take it anymore.

My entire life, if I ever did or said anything to upset her, she would throw a tantrum. So I didn’t say anything.

This morning I finally had to say something. And I said it in a nice way.

I said “ ok, can you please stop texting me so much everyday lol”. And said texted back “fine, you won’t hear from me anymore”. And now she’s mad.

If she was actually having a conversation with me or if had something important to say, then I wouldn’t care. But she just sends dumb memes or says something that’s not important, but if I’m at work and don’t text back immediately,

She’ll text “ I’m waiting for you to text back”, “what are you doing? Why aren’t you responding?”

I’m in my late 20s. I live with my husband.

I think she is starting to lose it because she doesn’t have control over me anymore. She was a VERY controlling mother when I was growing up. I was very sheltered. I never stood up for myself.

I don’t want her to stop talking to me. I just want some space.
