Advice columnistDear Carolyn: No one in my family, including myself, wants to spend time with my mom. Even though I know all this and I'm normally pretty pragmatic, I am finding it tough to just cut my mom off. She says and does petty, horrible things in irritation, then just shakes it off, accusing others of being too sensitive. Your husband and kids may have mostly avoided your mom, but as witnesses to your suffering, they suffered. You are worth caring for, you are worth saving, you are worth letting off this hook.
