Someone please give me a comeback line for this?

Question

My mother is of 39 yrs is comparing me to my older sis who has manic/bipolar disorder. Telling me that b/c I left 3 abusive husbands & need her help still (just recently got my 3rd divorce after leaving him 4 yrs ago). My mom wasn't even mad at ME when she started on me. She had just got off the phone with my bro who was giving her a hard time. Talking down to her. Yelling at her. I merely said, "He needs to remember who he's talking to, he can be such a male chovanist sometimes!" She went OFF on me! Telling me how I'm NO DIFF FROM MY OLDER SIS...and WHAT does that have to do with MY bro?! She didn't stop there, she verbally lashed out at ME! It was shocking to me! I had come down (2hrs ONE way) to help her w/my grandmas house! She attacked me verbally bashing me. My older sis was left by her hubby for her disorder. She lost it after that. Her daughter was raped while in her care. Her son was almost taken away. He was burned badly at her house. She is neglectful. I am NOTHING like her!

I am a VERY good mther, proven in the court of law! I've won all custody battle with all 3 of my exes! They're always telling ppl/judges I'm crazy "like my sister". I've proven over & over that I am NOTHING like her! Except poor. That is what we have in common. But I'm not as poor as she is. I own my own home. I won everything in my divorce recently. (giving me ownership of another house in another state which I just sold on land contract) I'm about to open my own business in child care. Passed ALL the classes, finger printing, reference checks, etc. I have a college diploma! I just have a BAD habit picking mean who put the fear of God in me. LIKE MY DAD DID. My sister is very neglectful towards her kids. She lost custody of 3. She has her youngest but only cuz his dad is dead by suicide. My sis has had a hard life since her x left her. I am NOT like her at all, I help her! I've taken in her son (7) when she thought she "might kill him". I need a comeback line 4 her verbal attacks.

My grandmother went into a nursing home November 1, 2006. Relieving a lot of stress off my mother. She had been taking care of her in her own home for a yr. My grandmother is the sweetest person, even thru altzeimer! (my spelling isn't the best) My mom needs therapy herself...how to get her into it?

Answer 1

Your mother appears to be under a lot of pressure...why were you helping her with your grandmother's house...has she recently died...

Answer 2

Bi-polar is believed to be a genetic disorder. In other words, your sister is more like your mom, not you. Just keep your contact with your mom to a minimum.
