[quote=Anonymous]Having a passive aggressive mother is frustrating, hurtful, and at times enraging. If OP's mother has always been like this and this is not an isolated incident, then there's history there. OP is likely hurt to be treated by her mother like this. In my opinion, the best way to deal with anyone who's passive aggressive is to confront them directly. Not in a mean way, but direct. "I heard from so and so that you are upset that (insert problem)." Let her respond. Ask why she didn't tell you directly. Tell her it was a misunderstanding, that you did those things because (explanation) and didn't mean to Hirt her feelings, and if she told you directly then you would have had a chance to explain yourself. Tell her it hurt your feelings that she discussed this with your sister and husband without bringing it up with you directly and in the future you hope she'll bring it up directly with you. If she's truly PA, she'll be uncomfortable and embarrassed by this conversation but you know what? She's an adult and needs to be responsible for her own feelings and actions. Good luck. [/quote]
