I agree. If my mom wasn't critical in her way she would react in her emotional way that tried hard to make me feel guilty when it was her issues. Got so she knew nothing about me because I wouldn't communicate with her.
I have a friend now who feels that when she is told something she has to come up with the solution then gets hurt when it is not a solution that works for the other person. I am very selective what I communicate with her about things because I just don't want to out up with how she reacts. Her kids do the same thing. She was so involved in their lives growing up when they didn't have much of a choice but now.....they do & they choose what to share too & don't communicate with her often.
