[quote=Anonymous]My mom isn’t necessarily unkind, but there’s always been an undercurrent of competition and jealousy. I think in my mom’s case, she is very insecure and judgmental and assumes everyone thinks exactly like her, so she’s defensive at the same time. And also sort of hoping I fail in some of the same ways she did, just so she can be vindicated. We’ve had some really bumpy periods throughout our relationship. I don’t want to cut her off completely, so I just share as little as possible with her (which isn’t hard, because she doesn’t ever ask). I use her comments as opportunities to practice remaining calm and non-reactive. And I try hard to do better by my own kids.[/quote]
