You could take a break from your mom. She is chronically critical.
If that isn't realistic, then the minute she starts saying something critical - immediately yell STOP! Tell her you will hang the phone up if she says one more word - and then start talking about your chickens or something. YOU have the power to put a stop to it. You will feel better if you try to take charge of what you allow yourself to listen to. Don't give her the power, Newt.
