[quote=Anonymous] Oh yes, I hear you, OP. However your mother is probably a good person. I don't know if mine is, whether she does it deliberately or not, but as a young adult I realized that she would systematically seek to destroy any relationship I had with anybody else. In a really subtle, passive aggressive fashion, which is why I didn't notice as a teen but really struggled. I've learned to never share any info with her, basically, otherwise she will twist it to reflect poorly on that person (DH, MIL, my friends, etc) and encourage me to denigrate them and detach from them. Yet on the surface she's a self-effacing, charming woman! It's scary that there are such undercurrents! Anyway. Not wanting to derail the thread, but just wanted to say good job for understanding your own situation.[/quote]
