[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother used to do this. It's not that they get meaner. It's that they lose their filter and words just blurt out. They don't think before they speak like most of us do, partially because they are out of practice for having to do so in an office/ community environment. [/quote] He always lacked filter, but not in a mean way I think. When I was a teen he told me it was good I wasn’t strikingly beautiful because people would love me for me. I know he didn’t mean it the way it came off. I thought he generally liked me. Now it’s too much praise and thanking me profusely, or things like the above. It’s hard not to take it as judgment of me as a mother and daughter. [/quote]
