[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't help, only commiserate.  My mom does a version of this.  Will frequently tell me that we're having trouble having phone conversations (I try to call 4-5x week), but there is only so much to say.  Then it's on to "I don't have this problem with other people, only you".  Uhhh...ok?  Next is the "you've changed, I don't understand".

This sounds just like my mom. Sorry, it's so very frustrating.[/quote]

My mom does a version of this, but I have learned to deal with her like anyone with a personality disorder regardless of whether she meets full criteria. With my mom you cannot defend, rationalize or have a discussion because she is always right. I just listen and make an excuse to get off the phone. I would also call less and less until you find your comfort zone. If she questions it, you could be literal and say that you call less since she said she has trouble having conversations with you, but if she's like my mom she cannot even handle that so you just say nothing.[/quote]
