[quote=Anonymous]Hey OP, there's a helpful book called "Boundaries." It reinforces ways to help you withstand her various toxic behaviors. My husband's mom is like yours, and mine is to some degree. They try to separate people so that they can be the ones controlling them, as your mom has done with everyone in your family. When my MIL gives the silent treatment or gets angry, we back away and don't react or say a word. Her feelings are her problem, and if she chooses not to speak, fine. And finally, do NOT give your mom any info about yourself or your kids. Minimum info is best. Practice being vague and have set responses saying you don't know (or whatever), and answer that way no matter how she badgers you.[/quote]
