[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in my 50s and had trusted and was close to my mother growing up. In college, she acted quite judgemental and also basically said she didn't want to hear about those types of things. Honestly, it changed my relationship with her from then on and, as you can see, I have  never forgotten the day she told me. I was embarrassed and surprised. She lost a ton of my trust that day. Just because you don't want to hear about those things, is it that hard to pretend to? And if she trusts you, you love her, she's doing okay, can't you just be a sounding board for her? Your college age students may still be looking for some parenting there, I can't believe you all would be so judgemental and not be there for them. [/quote]

Wow, so she put up some boundaries (like a healthy mother daughter relationship) and you faulted her?  This reflects more poorly in you than her.
There are many things you should be embarrassed to tell your mom about, that’s what girlfriends are for. Find some. [/quote]
