[quote=Anonymous]My mother was like this. Still is a bit.
She was very judgmental about everything. The last straw was when she tried to forbid me to get married. So gradually I stopped telling her things. We mostly talked about the weather. I didn't tell her I eloped.
One time I told her I bought new dinning room chairs and she asked why I was keeping that a secret. I told her honestly that I didn't think it was that important, why was she being so sensitive? And she said it was symptomatic of me keeping secrets from her. And it was true.
When I told her after the fact that I sold my car, she was livid. And I told her crying on the phone that I can't tell her anything because everything I do is wrong (she said I didn't get enough money for the car). Does she know how hard it is to be always wrong to the person who should love you the most?
I had a few of these crying episodes where she would be disappointed at me and I would cry and yell that it's hard being a failure to her.
Then she found out I was married and the shit hit the fan. But since she wanted to see the grandkid it eventually blew over.
I'd say our relationship is better now. She knows that if she starts her judgmental crap I will withdraw. We don't talk about the weather so much anymore.
