How to deal with an overly critical mother?

[Anonymous]

My mom literally criticises everything I do. The way I talk, the way I dress, what I eat, what I buy, even the way I breathe. She told me to stop breathing so loudly, although she knows I have severe asthma. I can't take it anymore. I tried everything: talking to her, asking her to stop, ignoring her... Nothing worked. What would you do if you were in my position?

If you are living with her move out. If not, then limit your contact. You are an adult. Even if you are living with her, you don’t have to sit still and listen to that. When she starts, just get up and walk away. If you have your own home, then limit contact with her.

Tell your dad to fuck her more. She will be happier and leave you alone. Your mom has daddy issues.

Haha. That might actually work. The daddy issue thing, don’t know about that.

@love_conquers_lust her daddy not moms.

Again, don’t see how that would have anything to do with it. But if the mom got laid, maybe she’d back the fuck off the OP.

Whether her criticisms are valid or not, sometimes it helps to imagine how a close friend would give the same viewpoints, no doubt it would be in a kinder manner. Sometimes there is a diamond hidden within the charcoal.
