[quote=Anonymous]I’ve always had a great relationship with my mom; no drama. Last year, I opened up to her about a longstanding pattern of hurtful behavior towards me by my brother and particularly my SIL. She appreciated me telling her and acknowledged my hurt feelings (she’s also had issues with SIL). I shared that for her sake, I would be cordial at family gatherings but beyond that want to be very low contact with them. She was sad but (I thought) understood. However, since then, she constantly brings them up to me: telling me about what they’re doing, what their kids are doing, etc. I typically don’t respond or change the subject (‘that’s nice, anyways how was your trip?’) but it continues. I don’t really want to hear about these people; they were hurtful to me and I don’t want a relationship or to spend brain power thinking about them. Am I overreacting? How can I nicely tell her to stop? [/quote]
