[quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't even know what a normal relationship with her would be.[/quote] Your statement below reveals the problem. [quote]her unsolicited advice[/quote] It is a very common problem. Once children are independent adults, parents would be better off with a relationship more similar to friendship. Friends usually do not give unsolicited advice. If I wouldn't say it to a friend, I don't say it to my adult children. I don't comment on their style or manners or beliefs or personal life. It would be rude. I have to remind myself of this all the time - but I really think this is the key. Unfortunately you won't be able, at her age, to change your mom. [/quote]
