[quote=Anonymous] I always saw my mother for what she was, but I tolerated her criticisms because I know it came from a place of mis-expressed love and deep-seated anxiety. But she kept crossing boundaries, and I cut her off when she started attacking my husband and toddler daughter. We renewed contact at one point, and she has since been a lot more circumspect! She's much more aware of what she can say and what she can't say, and is able to behave during a 2 week visit once a year on average. We don't risk anything longer, because why tempt fate! So for me, no surprises really. [/quote]
