I'm 52 and I'm still talking about my mother......what a loser. 
The moral - some things we can't avoid and we just have to figure out how to deal with them. My solution has been to grow my hair below my ears so my mother comments on it every time she sees me. Haha! I win again!  |
I understand completely! Some things just aren't going to change, and everyone's family dynamic is different. Today I've been shutting out the world though, and it feels pretty good. Although I cant control my family, I am able to at least avoid reaching out to them when needing time alone. It helps me avoid conversations with them that don't end too well. Maybe they are just all over stressed and I can't put myself in the middle of it, especially when I am struggling. I guess time alone is what I need until I feel a little better.
