Good for you! I have always been a very passive person, but sometimnes when you just can't take it any more something just clicks and makes you break loose. I am all for being respectful but sometimes I deserve some respect as well. You will have the respect now that you have stood up for yourself - she will get over it.

I am proud of you. Sometimes you just have to stand your ground. My girls have voiced their opinions with me, and sometimes we just agree to disagree... no hard feelings... but with my mother, she was right even when she was wrong, and there were times where I just had to stand my ground and speek up. Dont feel bad, and the next time you talk to her, make a point to tell her you love her. After all... at the end of the day, that's what really matters.

Sometimes we have to let them know we need to do things our way not there's all the time.It took my mom over a month to get over our little spat about something but she finally started back to the old mom
like they say about us "she'll grow out of it" lol

I would advise avoiding your mother's confrontations. Just hang up if she gets abusive. Ignore her if she says ugly things in front of others. Leave her out of any and all plans, trips, & events that you can. "Divorce" her, at least temporarily. Eventually she will get the message.
