My entitled mother, who is a complete narcissist, refuses to take no for an answer,

0:05.1

but after having just about enough, I put my foot down and set some very clear boundaries.

Now she's enraged and refuses to talk to me, and I'm honestly not sure what to do.

I am a 26 year old female and my mother is 56 years old, and honestly,

0:23.6

my mother has been a problematic presence in my life for basically my whole life.

A few weeks later, she asked me again to help her out. And again, I said no, and to please not ask

1:41.0

me again. But still, she demanded to know why, and I explained to her that I had already told her why,
