tolerate verbal abuse from grown up kids?

MY DAUGHTER IS A BOSSY, TOUGH, SHOUTING, EXPLODING, CONTROLLING, 42 yo ANGRY,VERY EFFICIENT WOMAN WHO LIKES TO SCOLD ME AND PUT ME DOWN.

I DONT LIKE THE WAY SHE TREATS MY GRANDSON AS WELL.

I HAVE ENDURED FOR MANY YEARS, BUT I GOT TO THE BOTTOM LINE DAYS AGO. SHE ASKED ME TO LOOK FOR SOMETHING ON HER CEL PHONE,WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING.

IM A 65yo WOMAN, I WAS TRYING TO DO WHAT SHE ASKED ME AND I SAID "I CANT".( I couldn`t do it as FLASH!)

SHE GRABBED THE PHONE OUT OF MY HANDS AND ANGRILY STATED " YOU HAVE TURNED INTO A USELESS PERSON, AND YOU DONT WANT TO DO ANYTHING"

THEN THE SCOLDING PART STARTED..."YOU ARE GOING TO SUFFER A LOT BECAUSE OF THIS AT AND BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA.

I GOT MAD AND SAID "DONT EVER AGAIN SAY IM USELESS" AND PUNCHED HER IN HER ARM, THE PUNCH WAS RETURNED.

TO MAKE IT SHORT..SHE SAID I WAS DEATH FOR HER AND I WAS COMPLEATLY INSANE.

I KNOW SHE WONT FORGIVE ME, BUT I DONT CARE. I HAVE RESTRAINTED MY IMPULSES FOR DECADES, BUT I COULDNT ANYMORE.

FORTUNATELY I HAVE A CARING, KIND SON BUT LIVES FAR AWAY.

I MIGHT DIE ALONE IN MY HOUSE, BUT AT THE PRESENT MOMENT I DONT GIVE A DAMN!

THANKS IF YOU HAVE READ THIS FAR!

I have been in therapy and will continue.
She isnt aware of what she does and say, and will never change...
She might not allow me to see my grandson (that was a continual threaten for years) but Im in touch with him by phone and he is growing.
Sad and liberating!. Tweet
