When do you walk away?I am having a crisis right now. My mother has been verbally physically and mentally abusive to me from the time I was a child. Obviously she can’t physically abuse me anymore because I’m an adult. But she does a good enough job  mentally and verbally. She is currently in really bad health. She has advanced COPD, and is not getting enough oxygen to her brain, which makes her even meaner than normal. Her husband just had to have emergency surgery, and has been in the hospital, and they’re not sure when he’s coming home. She’s all alone , And I felt guilty that she’s alone, so I went over there today. Also because it’s her birthday. When I went over there, she was so verbally and mentally abusive that I literally feel like cutting myself tonight because I feel very upset.  I just don’t know what to do, because I want to walk away from her, but I feel like I would feel guilty if I did. I also have a situation with my sister, who is also very verbally and mentally abusive. She is a lot like my mother. I just had to block my sister today because of some of the things that she said recently . Suffice it to say, I have a really sucky family. Should I feel guilty for wanting to talk my mom out of my life when she is ill and alone?? Her neighbors are all being super supportive of her which is nice. I ran into a few of them today when I was there, and I feel like they were looking at me like I was some kind of an a hole for not being there. All they see is a sweet old lady with oxygen strapped to her face. They don’t know what goes on behind closed doors. What do I do here, I just don’t know?
