[quote=Anonymous]Ugh, this bothers me but it had to happen sometime. My parents are visiting. My mother is constantly, always stating her opinions and preferences as fact, and stating that people who think otherwise are “fools” or other derisive names. She sneers about anyone doing anything differently than she does. On and on with pronouncements about how this or that is right and this or that is wrong. I told her to stop it, just drop it and she kept on making disgusted, derisive noises.

Today my dad and I agreed on a preference for something, and my mom said anyone who thinks that is foolish. She said this in front of my kids. Later, I told her that “Saying I am foolish or insulting me in front of my kids in my home does not work for me. She made fun of me for “being so dramatic” and finally I told her she was done insulting me in my home. She finally got that I was serious and then went straight into victim mode, saying she always “knows she will get in to trouble with me” and that I was “always yelling at her.” Nothing could be further from the truth. I never once have yelled at her.

I’m just done with her acting like it’s always Her Way and that she can just freely call other people idiots for having opinions that differ from her. She takes zero responsibility, and I know her next step will be to call my aunts and gossip about this, then my aunts (through my cousins) will try to get me to apologize. I’m so done with family triangulation, I’m so done with her pronouncements, I just can’t take it anymore, but I don’t like that this came up on a holiday. Thanks for listening, just feeling sad and angry and fed up.[/quote]
