A guilt trip won't work on you unless you go along for the ride...in other words, ignore her, change the subject, whatever works.

Guilt is a self imposed emotion, fueled by fear...so what are you afraid of? Guilt will keep you stuck, it is a counter productive mindset.

I just moved back this past October so I could help her out with some things..

She is bi polar big time & can't see it so between the gulit trips & her being bi polar I don't see staying as long as I had told her I would.

Wish I could but I keep my promises I know by summer she will be pushing it & I'll have to go, I don't want to hear how I didn't keep my promise this wasy I can say that she pushed me to the point that I had no other choice. Sounds mean but this way this way she can't gulit trip me into staying & I can make a clean break. So I am hoping too.

Promises are meant to be broken, people do it all the time.

Set boundaries with mom, and make yourself grow out of little girl mode.
