I think I'm done, AITAH
My (36 f) mother (56 f) is a narcissist, at lesst I'm pretty certain she is. She was pretty abusive growing up, but she's claimed shes grown and I've been giving her the benefit of the doubt.
She always talks about how she puts money away each check to go on vacation, see concerts, etc. She says she sees it as a bill. For context, this woman complains about having no money but goes on vacation every 3 months. She goes out to lunch / dinner twice a week and drinks at least 4 beers at a time.
One of my favorite bands Katseye is coming to town in November, and I'm taking my niece to go see them (she also likes the band) she's 19. I don't drink, and I don't plan on buying any merchandise.
The tickets were spendy. I didn't want nose bleed seats, I wanted mid priced seats. The seats that were reasonably priced I was going to get, but sold out before I could get them.
The seats I originally chose were still expensive, but for 100 more I could get better seats so I went ahead and secured them. Figured I don't see concerts, and this would be a once in a lifetime chance. I was able to do it as a payment plan through PayPal, pay in 4, so I can pay it over time. Im essentially looking at it as a bill.
Out of excitement, I told my mom
Wrong idea.
Her responses were mean, and just plain rude. She kept saying "wow! I wish I had your money" and "you guys must make some good money" Maybe I'm the AH here, but I came back with "I could say the same to you"
I told her I'm going to do it as a payment plan, and I took her advice to see it as a bill. She came back with "Dont you dare compare this to my vacation fund" she called me foolish and said I should have waited on tickets (maybe she was right, but they kept selling out each day I looked and was going up in price)
I think this is my breaking point with her.
Would I be TAH for going low contact with her?
