You just don't like the answer. I guess I'm just a TERRIBLE mother! Accountability isn't an attack. I'm sorry you feel that way. That's not a real apology. I don't remember it that way. I know what happened to me. After everything I've DONE for you?? Love shouldnt be transactional. You won't even let me see my grandchildren! I'm your child. You need to repair with me first. You've always been the difficult one. I've always been the honest one. I'm your MOTHER. You must respect me! Respect is earned, babe. I'm going to turn the whole family against you. Family who believes your lies is no family of mine. **Victim mentality** (Posts about it on Facebook)
