[quote=Anonymous]When your mom misses her mom, that’s totally understandable to you, so just address that: “I’m sorry, mom. I know you miss her. The holidays can be really tough when the ones we love aren’t around anymore.” Like, why do you need to bring anything else to that? “Well, you shouldn’t miss her because sometimes she was passive-agressive, and that one time she forgot Carol’s birthday”? Like, what good does that do? Your mom’s feelings can just exist. You don’t even have to acknowledge them. But you also don’t have to contradict them. If you want or need to vent about this, clearly your mom is not a safe or appropriate place to do so. Talk to a trusted friend, a therapist, or a trusted peer cousin.[/quote]
