My mother does this thing

Where she hints around at wanting/needing something but then gets angry at you for offering for insinuating that she is a burden.

I normalized these mental gymnastics she made me play for so long but now I've been around healthy people too long.

It doesn't work on me anymore, lady. You're GROWN. Figure. It. Out.

@bookerdana That is a mild example of her problematic behavior. We only recently started speaking again.
