[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Ha wish it was that easy.  I've tried it and have been met with some very cruel words that make me feel worse than her comments about my choices! [/quote]

"That was a very unkind thing to say.  I am hanging up now."

OP, you really, really sound like you have major problems setting boundaries with your mom.  PP is correct that she should not be your first person to email about things.  If she asks how the weddig is going , be vague.  If she asks for specifics, change the subject.  If she presses you for info, call her on it: "You seem very interested in my choice of flowers.  You are welcome to share an opinion if you have one, but as you know our tastes often differ and I will be following my own preferences ultimately."  If she is cruel or says something hurtful, tell her so and end the conversation.  Worst case wcenario, she freezes you out and you don 't have to listen to her bullshit.  Best case scenario, she realizes that you are done being victimized and changes so again, you don't have to deal with her bullshit.[/quote]
