Does my mom sound like a loser?

[WhyohWhy69]

My mom did many things when I was young that caused a lot of harm to me. When I talk about how I raise my daughter, much differently than she raised me, she guilts me by getting snippy and says stuff like “I know I was a shitty parent,” even though I didn’t say anything critical to her or about her. Then she talks about her bowel movements all the time and generally shows a lack of interest in anything I talk about. She gets offended over things that aren’t offensive and have nothing to do with her.

She sounds like she knows she was a bad parent so when you bring up how you raise your daughter she feels some guilt. I don't understand the bowel movement thing. That is pretty weird 😕

It’s gross. She always says it when people are eating or trying to have a pleasant time. She’d shame my grandmother for doing the same thing.

Well , in a word - YES.

I'd bet she is a manipulative , looser.

People who say " Ohh , I was not the best mother in the world " , they are just shitty parents , don't feel empathy , you can't change her , she probably had a shit mother also , just keep at arms length and reverse the trend.

Dont make excuses for her , any phycologist will tell you that.

I'm sorry to hear this, it sounds like she knows she wasn't a good mother and feels guilty about it.

She’s just sensitive, and getting defensive instead of acknowledging your childhood

[Nikki1989]

No, just easily triggered by things.

She know how she is.
