I informed her that from that day forward she would lose every battle, every one. She would go on to never win anything. She died without ever regaining the upper hand. She never had any sway with my bikes, my education, my wife, my jobs or my homes. She passed away alone in a nursing home.
You won the battle and lost the war. I can't imagine anything worse than having my mother die without resolving an issue. I'm sorry.
I'd be careful here...
I have had to deal with a lying, controlling, manipulative parent who has done nothing in your life but create a toxic relationship with anyone whom she cannot control.
You cannot chose your family and not all parents are Ozzie and Harriet. Sometimes all you can do is cut the ties permanently to preserve yourself, your life and your sanity.
