Matt, I don't think people here are disbelieving you. Speaking for myself, I believe absolutely that you are accurately reporting your perceptions of what's going on. I do believe you.
What I was asking, Matt, in my earlier post, was what I could do here, in writing, that would be helpful to you? (And if there's nothing I can do, feel free to tell me that, too.) I can't drive to Texas to sit your mother down and explain another perspective to her; I can't take you into my house and play Mommy; I can't write you a prescription for any medication; I can't tell your mother to get into family therapy; I can't do any of that, so writing on this board is all I can do. What is it that you want me to write, what can I tell you which will help you?
Frankly, I've already given you my best advice, several times now. I'll offer it again, if you ask for it -- but if I do, I'd like you to tell me what you understood from what I wrote. Just to show me that you understood what I was trying to get across. You tell me if that's worth it to you or not.
Good luck, Matt.
