I'm unable to truley distance myself from her because we live with her. Jamie is still like attached to her breast. Thats like, instead of living with my parents for free so that we can save money; he wants to live with his mom and pay over half the bills here.
Also, like with her doing everything about us seperate. She even did that when we went to get pictures done. She wanted ones of Jamie seperate because she kept saying that we wouldn't want ones together if we ever split up (will explain the REAL reason in a sec), but I told her that we would because we went to prom TOGETHER. Even if we split and I dated someone else, I would still tell that person that Jamie and I went to prom together. I was dating Jamie then, and have been dating him for almost three years, she will just have to get used to the fact that we are together and he doesn't run to her to talk to her about everything now, he also talks to me.
But I think the real reason she wanted the pictures of him by himself was so that she could only put those up. We gave her a big picture of us together and she has never even looked at it. She threw it on top of the refridgerator or something, and then went and framed the one of just him, and anytime she gives them out to his side of the family she only gives the one of just him, NEVER the one of us together. Like, during christmas she framed the picture of him and gave one to his sister, and one to his brother. Jamie asked her if she wasn't giving them the one of us together, and she said "NO!" with a really smart attitude.
Then again, I think one of the reasons she doesn't like me is because I wont let her run all over Jamie. Like, when we first got together she would take his checkbook and write checks out of his bank account all the time. He would never say ANYTHING to her, even when she overdrew his bank account and all his stuff would bounce!!!! I eventually got sick of it, and made him stand up for himself. It got so bad, that I even said "I dont care if it was my family, if someone was STEALING money from me, I would call the cops and show them the checks weren't in my handwriting!!" at a distance where I knew she could hear me. I may have went alittle too far, but it was horrible the way she was treating him, and he would loose all the money for his bills because she would be taking what money he had in the bank for them, as well as overdrawing his account. The worst part about it was she wouldn't even tell him that she wrote them. She would just let them go threw and make him pay the overdraft fee and everything!! There were alot of times he could have covered the checks (he only used his bank account to automatically debit out his bills) but she would never say anything!!
I could go on and on all day about things she has done..
