I know exactly how you feel. I don't think I'd kill her but she is absolutely nuts. I'm a grown man in his 30s and I feel small often when I'm around women, but especially when I'm around her. The worst part is she shames me and then say why aren't you positive and socializing. That's nothing compared to the other stuff though. She's threatened to kill me, herself, or both of us. She's used "swear on your mother's death" to make sure I do what she wants.
I had a job, and she called me and screamed at me on the phone and told me to quit the job or she'd take away all of my financial support because she didn't think it was a good company. A few months later I couldn't get another job, so she calls and apologizes and asks me to call them and tell them "mommy told you to quit". Yeah, she said for me to call back a company and say "mommy" told me to quit and to take me back. She's delusional. Nobody understands how insane she is.
We recently went on a family trip. She was telling me how I didn't socialize enough (even though I did) and said my cousins didn't like me because of it, and there was a t-shirt she had bought me (she does this a lot by the way)... Oh I have this t-shirt, should I give it to your brother in law? (she knows it's easy to guilt me)..and then she says it's an expensive t-shirt I bought for you. I know that sounds like a little thing I shouldn't be upset about but when a person constantly employs manipulative techniques and guilt to get you to do things, it really gets annoying and frustrating.
The worst part of the trip? We were sitting down (I had one drink, just one), and she said why don't you go and dance. I said I didn't want to, and then made a joke, why don't you go and dance? That made her go insane. She shouted at me that I was drunk, and that she would kill me, and then that she would leave and have nothing to do with me.
Later (and she does this a lot too...she likes to blame things on my psychiatric illness)... she was saying how she'd have me injected, and that I wasn't taking meds and that she knows me (she doesn't, she's delusional and has no idea who I am).. and says she's going to call the doctor. Later on, of course, and this happens all the time... she apologizes and says she knows I wasn't in my "normal personality" (her words) and that I don't act like that when "I don't like her or am angry at her".
The only thing I hate about her is she's nuts. She thinks she knows me, but she doesn't. She's very controlling, and in social situations in particular nothing I ever do is enough, and I feel like a small scared little boy when that happens... I'm incredibly awkward when I'm with her...and she's controlling me now too, she's trying to force me into the jobs she wants me to do. I can't say no to this woman. I hate her.
I've been called "western" and "white" by her as well when I assert my boundaries by the way. When I was younger in my early 20s she would also throw out my clothes, the ones I bought, and the ones given to me by friends. When I was a teenager she didn't like me talking to girls. Once I was diagnosed with my mental illness things got worse because you know, she's delusional, and thinks she's a psychiatrist and has this grand relationship with me where she knows who I am and anytime I behave in a way she's not comfortable with it must be my illness and she'll put me in the hospital or count my pills or force me to come home.
None of what she does is normal.
