[quote=Anonymous]Stop visiting so much and when she tries to guilt you explain that her negative and judgmental attitude about everything is bringing you down and you emotionally can’t handle it. See if she’ll try to restrain herself. When she gets negative and judgmental cut your visit short. She’s not even 80 and she’s been like this her whole life so while I bet she has the capacity to change or restrain herself, I bet she won’t. You can only control what you do. And not exposing yourself to her as often is probably the right step. Can you help her develop a new interest? And stop showing her photos of anyone about anything. Stop giving her props to be judgmental about. [/quote]
