Triangulate 

That thing that an evil mother does (especially to daughters). Typically, she had you when she was very young, she hates your biological father & sees him in you. Thusly, you are now a burden to her, & she treats you as such.

When you reach adulthood, any chance she gets to “pull the rug from underneath you”, SHE WILL TAKE IT. This is due to her anger & bitterness over your existence; ruminating on what she could’ve been/done if you hadn’t have been born.

Jealousy & envy are also an inevitable byproduct of one such miserable mother & her evil doings.
Ted: Tonia’s mother gossips about her to Tonia’s boyfriend. Tonia’s mother got her sexual predator, IT husband to break into Tonia’s phone to read her text messages. Tonia’s mother threw a temper tantrum, like a 3 year old, & blackened her own eye.

Sherman: Uh oh. Sounds like Tonia’s mother is trying to triangulate her, again. I really hope she survives.
