[quote=Anonymous]Your mom sounds similar to mine before she got Alzheimer’s. The words are hurtful if you take them to heart. I think my mom was a depressed, critical person who picked fights. In retrospect, I wish I would have not taken her opinions so personally. They are just her opinions—you don’t have to react to them. You might want to say something in a neutral tone like, Well, that’s your opinion, each time she shares her opinion. Do not engage. I know that’s hard because she seems to really know what buttons to push, but you see that reacting does no good. And prep your kids that she has all sorts of whacky opinions and not to take them seriously. [/quote]
