My Lord, Nikki, my first reaction is your mother has a lot of growing up to do. It's really too bad you can't get the support you so need from her at this time in your lives, but you are going to have to be strong for yourself, and your son and husband, and look for it elsewhere. Your mom is only going to cause you stress and grief until she comes to an awareness of how selfish her behavior is, and more stress and grief you don't need, so turn away for now, find your help and support through friends, neighbors, networks such as this one, and family who really do love you. Hopefully some day she'll become a more enlightened person, but right now your responsibility is to yourself and your son and husband. Don't let her hurt you any more.
Love, Lolly
