[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your mom’s grace isn’t very catholic. She is imposing her own “spirituality” on you.

If she is searching and mixed up, but not seeking resources outside her own head, I feel bad for her. But I can see why she is frikkin’ annoying. Plus, she is showing disrespect for the OPs childhood.

Nothing we can say to OP will matter, since all OP wants is for her to stop talking. [/quote]

Has the advice been anything but getting her to shut up?[/quote]

She has gotten very little advice on how to get her mom to back off.  (The rabbi may have some, or some good resources). Most of us have just said “tell your mom “no”, which she already knows.

[/quote]

Sometimes there’s just no substitute for “no.”  Sometimes there’s just no way to sugarcoat something, or wrap it up with a nice little bow so mom will be happy with the result. Mom isn’t going to be happy with with any of the (actually numerous) wording suggestions here. Some ways of saying “no” may soften the blow, but it is will still be a blow.

OP seems to be struggling with the fact that “no” can be hard to say, and that sometimes you may have to repeat “no” multiple times for the message to get through.

But that’s what adults have to do, sometimes. That’s why people here are giving OP a hard time. [/quote]
