Clearly what your mom is doing is wrong and abusive.

The thing is she won't change and confronting her as you already know won't get her to change. You have to understand she is a sick person.

Distance yourself from her.

Only respond to her emails once a week with a general.

" Glad they are doing well."

Make no further comments.

Be proud of your life.

Of course this. Comparison is the enemy of joy, and your mom is a nasty provocateur. Yuck!

But then, OP, be prepared to be called out for your brevity.

My mom criticizes my emails, too.  I do quite a bit of writing in my daily life and get snarky responses about how as someone who writes for a living and is known for detailed descriptions, I certainly can't seem to muster more than a few words about Great Aunt Velma, etc.[/quote]

That's very perceptive of you, mom. I find you exhausting and thus limit my words. I write more to people with whom I enjoy corresponding. [/quote]
