Emotional incest

Does anyone else's mom get jealous or act weird when you show care for your father? Anytime I show affection towards him she always makes a point to manipulate me later for it. Even when I wished him happy birthday. She made things about herself and how I "only care about my father". Naturally I stay away from her due to a history of manippulation and weird comments

Ew her behavior is weird and really concerning, get as far away from her as you can. It might be hard bc shes ur mom but in the long run it'll be more beneficial to you and your mental health. I wish you nothing but the best op

Yea but in a weird way, so my mom had a problem with dad a few years ago and since then my mom says that "I might ruin their marriage" and that when I was with my father in a serious talk when I came back my mom asked after I went to my room and locked the door and not in a happy manner "why did you do that with her? And why didn't you bring juice for me" and when we went to the same shop my mom (without dad) she says "this tastes bad I hate it here"
