You’re doing the right thing, totally. I’d say, don’t feel guilty, but you will feel guilty… until you get enough distance to actually see the enormous costs to yourself and your daughter. Problem is, you have to break through the problems before that. Just know, your mother truly is responsible for herself; you’re only responsible for your well-being and your daughter’s. You’ve already paid out so much to your mother over the years. People like that can and will suck the life out of you. Go ahead and claim your life. It’s more than okay. It’s necessary. Xx
