[quote=Anonymous]OP, it seems like you haven't gotten to the point where you can deflect, sigh "it's my mom, here we go" and move on. A point where it doesn't bother you because you know it's all her issue and nothing to do with you. Until you get to the point where you truly understand that your mom has issues, and they have nothing to do with you, you will continue to get wrapped up in her responses, feel the pit in your stomach, etc. So the question for you to think about is how to get to the healthy place where you can glance at your phone, roll your eyes, think "uh oh she's at it again", type a breezy response, and be done. A book? Counseling? Message board? Friends in similar position? I did the first two and was finally able to see my parents for who they are, and just let things roll off my back, with responses like PP mentioned. I was in my 30's, and our relationship is good because they just can't get a response from me (part of their cycle). Best to you![/quote]
