[quote=Anonymous]Your mom and my mom should meet for coffee and talk politics and rant about how ignorant you and I are! My mom does some of those things. I am learning to change the subject calmly or say "we need to agree to disagree." She might then say "you are too sensitive" to which I respond calmly "Oh look at the time, I need to do X, y , z." My mother is downright insufferable and I realize she is flawed and has some very disturbing and selfish views. I still love her for the good qualities. You have to either tune her out, change the subject or get out. Don't reinforce it. Reacting too much reinforces her nuttiness. I sometimes get a really zoned out look and use a flat voice to say "mmm. uh huh." and then sometimes she gets angry I won't do more. Detach from it. See the humor in her rants. Do whatever you need to do so it isn't personal. Maybe sing "let it go" in your head. [/quote]
