Mother admitted she doesn’t want me in her life and for the first time I don’t want to be in hers!

2 years ago I realized all the BS I have dealt with my whole life was due to my mother being a covert narcissist - TEXTBOOK case. Every thing I do or say is a criticism of her, she is the victim and the reason her life didn’t turn out great for her is because of me. I am quite successful and have a very loving husband and great friends. We had a huge fight this week because it’s my birthday and she has to give me a gift and be nice and she can’t.

I asked her if she wanted me in her life and she said no. Father passed away 15 years ago and went through the same BS with her but couldn’t leave. I have no other blood relatives so this is sad for me but now I realize it’s time for me to. Maybe in the coming days my heart will mend slightly but it is permanently broken of what could have been.
