Am I obliged to continue writing?

I wouldn't cut off your only source of cumunicating. That could turn into who is going to write to who first! Try to be the better person over look the bad and be nice. Soon she may relise what she is doing and it will stop. Just my Thoughts

I do not know your relationship with your mother, so that is hard to say. Has she always been mean to you, or is this a new thing? Perhaps she resents the fact that she can only talk with her daughter over email? I have know idea. Maybe you need to come up with a better form of communication. If she has just always been emotionally abusive to you, then you don't need to carry on that relationship. It is sad, but sometimes people don't know how to be mothers and then really you are stuck without one. You shouldn't pretend to love her if you don't.

If this email is for me. I just thought I would get even with you, something you said in one of your discussions. I think you were reffering to me. so that's why I made a statement. the thing to do is talk about the problem first, then if you can't come up with a solution move on.

I agree with you 100% that she should not write to you if she has nothing but bad things to say to you or about you. I am shocked that a mother would treat her daughter like that. That is just apalling to me and she is definitely not a very good mother. I am sorry that you are having difficulties with your mother still and hope that she will leave you alone unless she can be nice to you and love you like a mother should love her daughter.

I dont think it is wrong to be hurt by it but I find it is often better to act as if her harsh things are unheard or unread and just stay in the social grace when dealing with such above the fray

i dont think you are wrong..in fact, i would have do the same thing if im in your shoe...i will not want my own mother to belittle me like that to so many people...it's too mean and depressing
