Guest guest Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 She just called me back (at work) to go ballastic about my significan other coming to a church even because she claims my son doesn't want him around and I said no you don't want him around and hung up. My son loves him. Any suggestions as to what might happen if I start calling her by her first name instead of mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 , Calling her by her first name will probably make her go ballistic. In my experience, pretty much everything that isn't their own choice makes them go ballistic. I call my nada " mother " rather than " mom " . I know she doesn't like that, but too bad. If she wanted me to call her by a more loving name, she could have been more loving to me for the past forty-some years.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I called my stepmom " mom " for a long time. Just recently, I have started calling her by her name. She never acted like a mom to me, so why should I honor her with that title. Janet  Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.  It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Actually I'd love to call her Nada, as its so much more like her than even her first name, I happen to know some lovely people who share her name.  Just had lunch with my son and he said he never said any of that and she's just trying to get him into trouble so I think its time to cut her off, no more unsupervised visits. ________________________________ To: WTOAdultChildren1 Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2011 11:17 AM Subject: Re: NADA is driving me nuts  , Calling her by her first name will probably make her go ballistic.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Mine freaks out if I don't call her MOMMY! I am 40 years old. I just find ways to never call her anything when we do talk. I am very low, low to no contact with her for the most part. MOMMY. Ewww. Emails from her often gush over with how much " your Mommy loves you. " Interspersed with jabs and insults and needs. Cringe worthy!
