My mother has never understood "boundaries". I think she views me as her own personal property. You can tell her repeatedly how you want things to be and she acts like she's never heard it before.
My husband and I decided two years ago to move 5 hours away from her so we didn't have to deal with her daily. A year later she started looking for a house 30 min. from us. She wanted to know what I thought....I told her, "Don't move, don't sell your house." (My dad still works...she sold the house to buy one 30 min. from me and he has to commute 5 hours...they rent an apartment to stay there during the work week.) But she is mostly here.
I told her before they moved, "I will not be your life after you move over here." She said, "I don't expect you to be." Now she is mad at me because I won't come see her everyday and I don't call her.
She calls me as much as 5 times a day. We've had an argument over me not seeing her and I have been issued the silent treatment. YES!!!
