[quote=Anonymous]There is a good book called "Boundaries." It's important that you work on accepting that your mom has limits and is a flawed person. It's hard to get older, and while some people mellow, others get more difficult and unpleasant with age. Accept it. Once you accept her as is, you can focus on how you set boundaries, which can mean limiting contact, and must definitely mean limiting how you interact. When she gets negative, you don't engage in it. Once you have gotten more accepting of her limitations, and have begun to put strict boundaries on how you react and engage with her, you'll let go of your high expectations, and will be able to let go of ruminating over the situation.
