[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP's question is about much more than the text message about the piano.

OP, you sound like my Mom - extroverted, maybe not very self-aware. And I empathize with your daughter. I have struggled with depression most of my life and I'm a textbook introvert. I always felt like my mother did not accept me as I was, because she has a hard time relating to people who are not like her. She would shame me for being to shy and sensitive instead of trying to empathize with me. I could try to be more cheerful, but interactions with her usually put me in a worse mood. Once I became an adult, she was the last to find out that I had a great sense of humor.

Try to be more accepting and learn to communicate in her language, whatever that is. [/quote]

Wow, my mom is just the same!!

Op, you shot her down,  probably for the zillionth time. It's rejection. It's troubling that you believe you were being light and funny, when actually you were being negative and mean. [/quote]
