[quote=Anonymous]My mother is like this and it is absolutely annoying. Anyone who has experienced enough of it would be at their wits end. My mother did not grow up wealthy either, but married well. She rubs it in my face a lot and acts like we are poor. We do fine. We save and we invest and are in great shape, but to her we are the poors.She is obsessed with other people's financial situations and gets herself in a tizzy if their kids go to private school and she thinks they can't afford it. She also lives for gossip and acting superior.

I have blocked her for a while before. Especially during stressful times I just don't have the mental bandwidth. She is hypersensitive too, but can be critical of others. Her friends have faded off. I would do a slow fade so she doesn't even realize you are fading and find a more comfortable amount of communication.If she complains just say work is busy.

Many of us go to therapy to figure out how to work around people who desperately need therapy, but don't go! [/quote]
