Bless your heart! It's hard dealing with abusive people isn't it? Maybe yor mom is narcisistic and a Borderline--I don't know. I have grown up around both pesonality disorders. Anyway, it is great that you recognize how toxic these people are. You are a strong person to go through all of this and still get your docterate---GOOD FOR YOU!

Keep up the great work!
