[quote=Anonymous]My mother was the same. I had tried everything, talking to her, telling her I found the comments hurtful, which led to her saying I was sensitive and needed help. I tried ignoring what she was saying, I was just left feeling angry and resentful.  Cutting her off for a while, nope things didn't change, again I was the problem. Then I tried wow that's hurtful when she said something- I was just sensitive again and difficult, her response 'oh here you go again'.

So one day I told her I was done that if she wanted to be a bitch fine but I wouldn't be around to listen to her BS, she of course didn't like it, so I then threw at her that she was just being sensitive.  I used her words back on her.  This was my last thing to try before I went very low to no contact. If it had of escalated from here I would have gone no contact.

She doesn't make those comments anymore because she knows I'll make it unpleasant for her.

I don't know if your mother always makes these comments or if this is something new due to your dad's illness.  I would just tell her that her comments are unkind and hurtful when she says them.  If she says you are sensitive just so 'no you are being unkind', I have to go. Put boundaries in place.[/quote]
