It does sound like a jealousy thing, or that she doesn't like your dad so much and because of the "looks" you say are similair to his, maybe she takes all her hatred of him out on you, because he isn't around to do that to. As for her being nice one day and hateful the next or even saying "can't you take a joke" is really cruel. She sounds like a control freak. You sound like an amazing person, your mother is not the only person that you look to for validation on that. You are so right about doing things different with your kids. I have 3 daughters and I haven't treated any of them the way my mother did. She is really mean in her own way too. If you don't live the way she wants, you are stupid. She is really hard to be around. My oldest daughter and my granddaughter live with her and I only tolerate short time frames when I am there to see them. She STILL has control over my oldest, but we have a good relationship in spite of it. But I think you are right on the money about jealousies....maybe you are Cinderella and your sisters and mother are??????? In a sense.....just be yourself and never doubt who you are because of how she treats you. People like that live to bring others down...if she knows she is getting to you she will continue it. NEVER let her know it bothers you. She will stop soon enough. You can always cry or scream when she doesn't know! Smile when she sees you.
