I haven’t had a good relationship with my mother. She has stolen money from me over the years which amounts to tens of thousands. Maybe around 60,000. (I was housebound due to mental illness and entrusted her to withdraw money for me and it turned out she was pocketing 95% of the money for herself.) This was years ago and I thankfully live by myself now. She hasn’t made any effort to pay me back and still asks me to give her money. I find it difficult to distance myself from her because I am pretty lonely and don’t have anyone in my life. Every time I interact with her, it’s never a pleasant experience. She rarely has anything positive to say about me. I’ve tried to explain why I don’t like being around her but she deflects and places the blame onto me. I’m lost on what to do. It’s hurts to leave things on bad terms but I also know it’s impossible to create any kind of positive bond with her. Had anyone else gone through a similar thing and can share advice? submitted by /u/Kavrad
