[quote=Anonymous]I imagine you care because it feels like your mother is not treating you as an adult or respecting your training, hard work, and accomplishments. It’s minimizing, rather than validating. Why your mother is doing this is a question that’s probably impossible for a stranger to answer. There is a function to this behavior, though, it “gets” her something she wants. That said, you don’t need to know the motivation. What you do need is boundaries. Brainstorm some ways to stop and redirect the conversation when it starts feeling crummy for you. Remember that you can’t control your mother’s behavior, but you can control your own words and actions.[/quote]
