"You know. I am just tired of this. Don't push me out the door and then tell me you will decide my budget for me. I have obviously let her have way to much control and say over everything. I have tried to do everything she wanted. Ok. I haven't left her alone nearly as much as I should have. I kept trying to be friends with her and hope for the best. It didn't work."

Elementary my dear Watson!!!! Stop the enabling. She thinks she can CONTROL you. She has NO RESPECT for you. Show her that you now are waking up and are now taking CONTROL of YOUR life. She will RESPECT YOU for it. At first she will be pissed about losing the CONTROL but she will eventually RESPECT YOU for it.

Hold the line. PMA
