[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, stop telling your mom things. I know it’s hard. It feels like you should be able to share everything with your mom but she just gets anxious and uses what you say against you. I had a similar problem with my mom and once I learned to share less with her things got better. Good luck![/quote] This is great advice, thanks. I think I had a fantasy where the comments and anxiety would dissipate but she’s over 75. I have my own life and love her but don’t need to help her be a better self. I’d rather protect myself and my kid and have more distance, I think I just couldn’t admit that to myself. I have friends with vibrant, emotionally stable, non self-pitying/non worry wart moms and felt wistful and envious, to be honest.[/quote]
