This woman once showed up at my doorstep acting all hysterical after I hung up the phone on her when she was making extremely offensive statements towards me. She legitimately scares me with her lack of boundaries.

Don't open the door? She can be hysterical behind the doors all she wants. it's you who gives her deeds power. She is what... like 70 year old granny? She can't do anything to you.

She once admitted to me that she tried to have me involuntarily committed to a psychiatric ward because I was considering changing careers. That's how insane she is.
Tired
So what? She tried and you weren't admitted, as i said she can't do anything to you. She has no power over you, she just behaves like a total dumbass, and you continue doing with her "yes mom, okay mom." Every week you are writing here how you must break cycle with mother, yadayada, yet you still continue communicating with her. What are you waiting for?
Tired
Literally nothing will change to the good side unless you choose so.

You won't be first or last person to free themselves from abusive family, me and others did that as well. It may look scary at the start and the abusers will try to get you back, but they can't, because it's you who is choosing to stay or go, after all you are an adult, you aren't her little boy anymore.
Tired
And it's oh so freeing to finally be away from the toxic people who caused and are still causing you misery.

I'm thinking you only have to record this woman being a nut just in one such instance...and then you can have her committed for being an actual mental case.
