I think my mom is genuinely stupid. She always misunderstands things people say to her and ends up feeling defensive. It's to a point where it seems like I'm the one who's the freaking mom because I have to break down and explain every single interaction and every single question to her, like she's a fucking toddler or something. And because she misunderstands everything she frequently makes an ass out of herself and ends with her having fits of "I'm ridiculous I'm an idiot I'm and embarrassment I should die" that I also end up being the one who has to deal with. She used to take anxiety medication but had to stop because of another medical treatment (for a real measurable with objective exams illness, not for mental illnesses) so I don't know if that has anything to do with her getting worse at this or not. I don't know if I'm being too harsh but I just have like zero respect left for her at this point. I don't know what to do.
Nothing you can do, but love her. She's dealt with your shit, even if it might not be as bad as hers. She's blood.
My dad pisses me off too, but he dealt with me when I was a NEET and I wouldn't turn my back on him, ni matter what dumb shit he does.

Your mother has some serious issues. You don't necessarily have to be her best friend but you can at least just shut the fuck up and love her simply because she's your mother and you owe her.
I didn't say I don't love her, I said I'm losing respect for her. And I think that's fucked, I hate feeling like that. It's like I love her the way I love my dog
I guess the question I should ask is how does everyone else cope with finding your parents aren't likeable or very worthy of respect st all but still loving them? I'm so disappointed

So I should just suck it up and hate my relationships

I'm the only person who's still nice to her
Everyone else bailed
I don't know if I'm loyal or just a sucker
