I think this is the right forum for this, since it's about things my mom said that made me feel sad. She was dealing with her own hurt, and they say that hurt gets passed from one generation to the next, so I guess these are a few examples of that happening.

When I was a little kid having a meltdown on a family outing: "Why don't we go home, close all the doors and all the windows, and watch TV?"

When I was excited about buying my first clock radio: "You think you can go out and just buy whatever you want?"

When I was practicing guitar and it wasn't sounding very good: "You're never going to sound like Chet Atkins if you keep playing like that."
