Only thing that worked for me was distancing myself from dear old mom. No more confidante. No more asking her advice. No more coming to her or dad for help. No more sharing my life's ups and downs with her.
With distance came sanity, and also loneliness. With every love/hate relationship, cutting it off gets rid of the good as well as the bad. She favors my brother at all family events and I feel like the wicked step-child. But I MUCH prefer viewing myself through my own eyes, instead of always failing in hers.
Good Luck
