In my defense...she's got a shit load of money...so I let her give me a hard time for longer than I probably would have otherwise.

Bird just wont die though.

I *will* say that we get along splendidly now. I think that she might have had her meds adjusted at some point.

...or I did.

Either way.

hahahhahahahhahaa I love the 2nd one,

Just so people know since it's come up: I'm not Asian haha. And I actually make a comfortable living off the psych degree

But you still keep reading these cards, when you know what's in them. You know that old saying about "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me"?

Don't do anything vitriolic, OP. You want to send her a message, not distract her with anger.

Simply mail her xmas/birthday cards back unopened. Trust me- she'll get the point.

I've literally never met someone who's been handed as many opportunities as her. Yet she passes on all of them, and then blames everyone else for her doing it.

I graduated early from highschool, by two years actually, and went to college. The day before I graduated she told me how disappointed she was in me, and how I had gotten "all those D's on your report card. I'm so ashamed of you". I had never gotten a grade below a B in my life. So this is obviously nothing new, but the weird thing with her, is that when other people are around she's effusive in her praise of me, like over the top. One time we were with family and I was showing some recent photographs I had taken, and she fawned over some pictures I had taken talking about how they're the mos beautiful thing she had ever seen. They were blurry as fuck and I thought I had deleted them from my hard drive. I dunno, I think she does that so that other people will see 'how much she cares about me' and think highly of her, and then when no one else is around she takes shots at me.

As for me, I'm a psychologist, and I do the whole IT thing on the side for the extra money. I don't like it, but it's more lucrative than mental health. I mention I'm starting a family fairly soon, and she shits on that, talking about how I can't afford it (I can) and everyone is just after my money, and I'm a sucker and everyone is stealing my money because I'm so gullible. So basically shitting on my gf stating she's a con-artist (she makes as much as I do, fwiw) who's only after my money.

Everything that she is blaming others for, she's actually blaming herself (projecting).

Sounds like my mommy. I bring up the fact that I hate my job and she tells me to work harder and get promoted, so I'm doing the same shit I hate, but for more money.

Only problem is that I already get paid a "reasonable" living wage and got da unionzed. And I'm finally starting to branch out, work towards other opportunities. But according to her, gotta do the FML job cause there ain't nothing more important than making a slightly higher income...

Therefore, conversations related to my career are now avoided when possible.

Pretty much this. Sounds like it's time to start tossing her cards in the trash as soon as you get them. If you're happy with your life and proud of yourself, then that's all that matters; you don't need her bringing you down.
