[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is waaay too long a visit. I understand wanting to visit for more than a week when coming from overseas, but 6 months is too long.

Also you need to be able to speak your mind before you blow up.  It sounds like you keep everything inside until it leaks out and explodes. You need to have a calm conversation with your mother where you explain the problem.  If she refuses to change, so be it and cut the visits short or drop them altogether, but you need to learn to speak up rather than blow up. [/quote]

I think you hit the nail on the head.  I do bottle it up until I've finally had enough and then I blow up. Hence the tone issue every time.  We never get to talk because she deflects with "your tone is unacceptable."  Or "I'm older and you can't talk to me like that."[/quote]

"No Mom. YOU can't talk to ME this way in MY house. I'M in charge here. He is MY son, with Harry. Not my son with YOU. Harry and I are in charge here. I'm sorry if you don't like that, but it IS the case."  Backbone, OP. Use it! [/quote]
