[quote=Anonymous]OP, so on this board there is a lot of criticism on the awkwardness of DCUM scripts. I'm not going to give you one because I don't know how you normally speak with your mother. Script aside, here are a couple points: (1) you need to enforce whatever you are requesting with a boundary. i.e., get clear in your mind what you are going to do when she continues to criticize. And regardless of how beautiful/sharp/perfect your words, your mother will criticize; she's spent a lifetime doing it. (2) read Adult Children of Emotionally Immature parents. Your mom is seeing your parenting as somehow a reflection on her - she didn't do enough, she misses what she personally lacked. Something. Whatever is going on, is her problem and not yours to carry.[/quote]
