I went to the hospital last summer because I needed a medication adjustment and I was in for 5 days.
My Wife then had to talk to my Mother to keep her up to date about my health. It was then that my Mother threatened to have me declared mentally incompetent so she could swoop in and take care of me.
My Mother and I rarely talk so I don't understand why she thought she knew better or so much more than my Wife.
After this my Mother has twisted half truths into hateful and vicious lies. She has poisoned my family against my wife.
For example 2 years ago I tried to rejoin the Army so I could get better health care for my wife and kids and so that we would have better financial stability.
My Mother turned that into my Wife pushed me into joining so she wouldn't have to work.
Twisting truth into lies my Mother continually uses my Facebook feed as ammunition to keep twisting truth into lies to slander my wife.
I blocked her on Facebook and just don't call her. We rarely talk as I said so she hasn't even noticed my steps to prevent any further twisting of truth into lies.
I am honestly shocked my Mother has been so hateful and vindictive for no real reason. She thinks she knows best but we so rarely talk so how can she know anything?
My Wife says we should kill our enemies with kindness and she has been consistently gracious to my Mother and it just makes her all the more furious.
I often preach loving your enemies but I can't maintain a relationship with anyone so hateful and negative. I just can't because it will bring me down and affect my mental health.
I am in a difficult position between choosing a healthy and stable life or accepting my Mothers hateful, vindictive and negative influence on me and my family.
I'm certain what direction is best but I feel that any choice is still wrong in some way. I'd be open to more ideas and other options.
