Please do not take this in the wrong way ellebud, but I wonder why you continue to maintain a friendship with this mother? In what way is this person a part of a healthy relationship/friendship in your life?
I have been in a friendship or two myself that have been somewhat like this and when I really felt like I had been through the ringer I looked at the so-called friendship. I realized it was not a friendship that went both ways and in no way was it healthy for me. They were hard to sever, but it is so much better now that I have moved on. I wish them well, but if it was not a healthy and positive friendship for me it was better to not be in it.
