[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry you’re both going through this. It’s really tough and many of us including myself can relate. They know they can “take it out on mom” of course because no matter what we’ll
always be there. I found sometimes just acknowledging what they say rather than “correcting” or trying to “fix it” works well. When she says (like my daughter does) “you have to say that bc you’re my mom”, I just say something like, “I’m your mom and love you very much”. I used to say “yes I’m your mom but that doesn’t mean I don’t mean what I say”, and so on and so on. We also use a coach who works with Dyslexic students, and they work on things like “building confidence.” Like you described, my daughter constantly compares herself to others and puts herself down. I see a difference and the benefits of the coaching sessions. It takes a little time but things are also calmer between us with having information, suggestions, - coming from someone else and not mom. She’ll give her “worksheets” to fill in or track as well. It’s been good for all of us. I hope that’s helpful. You’re not alone. We understand.
