[quote=Anonymous]Was your mom like this with your father's side of the family when you guys were growing up. My mom was. Very welcoming but very insecure around my father's side. Always threatened by friendships/closeness as if it was a slight against her or her side. But due to age differences and distance and finances, we ended up seeing my dad's side more, and she definitely resented it. I think I eventually learned to ignore it and not let it affect my relationships, but I dealt with years of guilt. She does it with my inlaws now too, though not anything as direct or explicit as your mom. I do think you should try to talk to her once, but know that given whatever insecurities she's dealing with, this may never go away. You just need to set boundaries and let her deal with it.[/quote]
