 Like birds of a feather she attracted people like her!!!!!
This really hit home with me.  I think this answers, what I have been through with her so called friends. Actually a close friend of my NM's is now 103, her daughter is a friend of mine.  Her mother is a duplicate of my own, which makes so much sense.  This woman is so full of hate at the moment you wonder if this is what is keeping her alive.  So sad......for her daughter.
Twoapenny, how sad for your mother to be around people who don't treat her well!! But you benefited by her mistakes.....
Life is about learning.....
I think what I have learned from own mother.....is not to be like her......but to set boundaries and Love myself and in return to love others....but not to let others abuse me.....which is what my NM did to me.

Amen! Your mom may have appeared to be a spiritual person...she was just faking, you have it and so much more!

Hi sweet Bettyanne.  My NM died a few years ago and I can relate to your comments about mom and her friends.  My mom did make a lot of friends - not as what I would call true friends - but friends who could DO things for her.  After several years, the friends would get tired and move on.  From the outside looking in - my sister and I wondered about all these friends.  She would bad mouth us to her friends - but in the end - after all was said and done - her friends were gone, but her daughters (no matter what she thought of us) remained.  At the end of her life, all her friends had been used and were gone.  Her funeral was attended by family members.  To me it's a cautionary tale - to be myself with my friends.  Love them.  Value them for what they are, not for what they bring. 

When all is said and done, as a Christian - I believe mom is in a much happier situation.  She's finally happy - when she never ever was happy here.  Just like everyone else on earth - Christian's can be little stinker's too and I'm so sorry for what you're experiencing.
