[quote=Anonymous]NP here. We have the same mother :-) Seriously, some of it may be due to age, but most of it is just a cry for attention and poor self-esteem: "Let me invent some problems because I'm tired of listening to yours and I don't want to actually spend effort in fixing my REAL problems, like chain-smoking and not going to the physical therapist like I should!". I do my best to rise above it, but fail pretty often because my brain interprets these insensitive comments as a proof that she doesn't understand nor cares about me. Which is not true - my mother adores me, but I'm her punching bag as well. It's complicated. I know that over the phone, i can hang up any time. We only visit her for less than 2 weeks at a time once every year or once every 2 years. Only way to stay amicable. [/quote]
