[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bracing for this with my own mom in a few weeks. She cannot help nitpicking everything or criticizing me. I've always just limited our time together and white knuckled my way through the meetings. But I've sort of had enough recently. I"m prepared to call her on it this time. "[b]Wow, I'm not sure why you thought it was a nice thing to comment on the weight I've gained. Because it's really mean." Then move on[/b].[/quote] I’ve found that telling people like this that you’re hurt opens you up even more. Don’t expose any more vulnerability. Just say, that behavior is unacceptable and go or tell them they need to go, or make it even simpler and just say ok time to go, no explanation given. No need to bare the deep wounds to your soul to them. It gives them power and ammunition.[/quote]
