Should I stop spending time with my mother?

[Anonymous]

I’ve noticed, whenever I start to get ahead in life, my mom and my exfelon sibling start bad mouthing me and trying to undercut my parenting. In reality, my mom caused a lot of harm to come to me when I was younger, throughout my youth and even into my late teens. My sibling though is a mooch though who gets most of his bills paid. Also, I haven’t led my child into danger or bullied them like my family did to me. They always act like I’m not taking care of my child right. When in reality, my child has a stable and loving home where they aren’t used just to play dress up with. They don't have an eating disorder. My child gets good grades and has much more self esteem than my family gave to me. So, should I just stop talking to my mom all together?

They sound like they are jealous of you and when they start bad mouthing you they are trying to make you second guess yourself. I would tell them that you don't appreciate the comments they are hurtful. You deserve better! Good luck 👍

You should strictly limit your time with unsupportive people, whether or not they are family.
