No, has nothing to do with covid. She was extremely controlling of me as a child,[b] borderline abusive, [/b]however she typically not as critical of her my kids. She cares a lot about what other people think, in an obsessive way. [/quote]

I suspect it wasn’t really borderline, but your view of what is normal may be skewed at this point.  [/quote]

Sigh, I'm a PP earlier in the thread that suggested therapy. I realize now it sounded flippant. I really meant it. I have a similar relationship with my family. It took having kids to open my eyes to the boundary-crossing and disrespect. So far she hasn't targeted your kids probably because they are young. That will change as they get more opinions about their life. You did well to do what was best for your family. Expect pushback to "punish" you for not doing what they want. Keep an eye on your kids and your mom's influence on them.
