Sheesh Brenda, do you have any idea what happened to make her so off? Was it a legacy?
There was some family history that could have made it a legacy thing, and she definitely has a personality disorder. No details on how, but I had a professional meet with mom and me for a discussion, and a last chance to ask mom about some history in our relationship. In a rare moment, mother showed her true self during the meeting. Afterwards, when my mother had left, the professional leaned forward, put her face in her hands, and said, "Oh, Brenda. Your mother ... your mother ..." My reply: "Isn't she a peach?"
I asked the professional if my mother could ever change. That was what I wanted to know. She said of all the people she worked with, this type of personality disorder was the most difficult. "They don't want to change. Nothing is ever their fault. They never do anything wrong." Since mother was getting worse, trying to hurt my husband and daughter, and not willing to make a change herself, then I had to make a change. I don't know what started her problem, but I know who ended it.

While sad, it has a silver lining in that you rose above and are stronger and more loving for it.
Ayup. Some people teach you how to be, and some people teach you how not to be.
I recently had a profound moment with kiddo when she said she wanted me to talk with one of her friends who is having trouble. Kiddo said this friend needed a good parent to help her.
Wow. Best compliment ever from kiddo. Virtual hugs all around for that one!

writing down deontological to look up later; it's too nice a day to get hung up on this shit.Copied from Wikipedia:
In moral philosophy, deontological ethics or deontology (from Greek: δέον, 'obligation, duty' + λόγος, 'study') is the normative ethical theory that the morality of an action should be based on whether that action itself is right or wrong under a series of rules, rather than based on the consequences of the action. It is sometimes described as duty-, obligation-, or rule-based ethics. Deontological ethics is commonly contrasted to consequentialism, virtue ethics, and pragmatic ethics. In this terminology, action is more important than the consequences.

Paying off someone's loan for free would just suck the self-respect right out of them.
Anyone who had their loan paid off for no good reason would never get a good night's sleep again.
Most of them would probably end up as suicides.
The action itself is wrong.
