My mom was a good one for laying on the guilt trip. I eventually stopped playing into it; but she never stopped trying. Right now, there aren't any people in my life that are like that (thankfully!). It's exhausting to deal with even if you don't allow the guilt in. I felt I always had to be on my guard around my mom.
