[quote=Anonymous] Sounds like the relationship I have with my own mother, except that over the years I've leaned to control my emotions and stay calm: not therapy, just acceptance that she won't change, and that I can only change my reaction. I can now manage an entire week with her, and so can DH. Then we have to go, otherwise one of us will blow up! Since my parents live overseas, we also don't visit very often, and that helps a lot. My advice would be to limit contact as much as possible, and to disengage while in her company. Just say "hm-hmm" and move on from whatever ridiculously offensive comments she makes. [/quote]
