[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She might be depressed, or is just a negative, miserable person. Redirect, as you would with a toddler. Her: life is so unfair. your dad is living this wonderful life but he's the one who ruined mine. You: that was a long time ago. Have you seen any good movies lately? Twister is on Prime and you'd like it. Her: my friends never call me. You: I bet they'd love to hear from you. Hey I picked up some really fresh blue berries the other day and plan to make ice cream tonight. [/quote] It’s fine to do this a few times, but it likely won’t have much impact on someone like OP’s mom who is very negative. She’s not going to pick up those subtle cues. Eventually, OP is going to have to spell it out for her mom and say “Mom, you’ve gotten really negative recently. Every time I’m with you, you’re always complaining and it’s hard for me.” [/quote]
