Go no contact, I haven't spoken to my mother in 13 years, the best 13 years of my adult life.

My mother abused me verbally as an adult and physically as well as a child.

It was either her or me, I chose me.

No one has the right to abuse another.

It's ok to admit that life is pretty good for you now that your mother is no longer in it. Enjoy the peace and solitude and stop worrying about an apology that is never coming.

I agree. 45 here and stopped waiting for that I’m sorry. Phone call. If it happens it happens is not then enjoy your life to the best of your knowledge.

If you haven't talked to her in a month and a half, she must be quite independent. What needs of hers were you attending to before the two of you stopped speaking?

How/why/when did you get in the position of "I tend to almost all of her needs"?

Most of her needs are transportation for errands, grocery shopping, being her backdrop when she needs to vent. Yes I have a brother who is helping her . She is pretty independent. And at times helped her financially

Welcome, Anhauser!

Does your mom have dementia? I am assuming not, since she is managing a rental and directing tradesmen.

Why do you keep assisting her if she isn't pleasant to you?

Are you expecting her behavior towards you to change? It won't.

Why not let her manage her own affairs and continue with your life?

Does anyone have POA?
