[quote=Anonymous]Ooh, can I play? "DH is a good-for-nothing" "DH is a jerk" "You ruined your life" (in concluding a monologue about how DH does nothing that he should and everything he shouldn't) "DH should go stay with his brother tonight" (when we were ALL invited to stay with my parents) "When is DH going to stay at his parents?" (during that same stay) This is when DH was going through a prolonged unemployment period and we were both feeling exceedingly vulnerable. Lovely to hear from your own mother at such a time, eh? Loving and supportive. Like OP, my mother's reactions are highly emotional and take root in her anxious temperament. As she ages, she filters less and less. My father thinks he stays out of it but actually he enables her. Unfortunately, DH gives her grist to her mill with his ADHD (plus the temporary joblessness). He can be smart-alecky, and always has a rational answer to any question, which frustrates her exceedingly. The answer is to avoid contact as much as possible, because I have had numerous conversations about this with my mother, and she is not going to change. So, do I win? :-) [/quote]
